Andy Roddick, the 2003 Us Open Champion and former World No. 1, played his last professional match here before retirement, losing to Juan Martín del Potro in a 4 setter fourth round match and bringing a close to his 13-year career.

The 2012 tournament marked the first time since the 2004 French Open that neither Roger Federer nor Rafael Nadal (who withdrew from the tournament due to a knee injury) reached the semifinals of a Grand Slam event.

This tournament ended the streak of five years in which Djokovic and Federer faced each other at the US Open.
