Juan Martin Del Potro defeated Andy Roddick 6-7, 7-6, 6-2, 6-4 on day ten of the 2012 US Open at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York. The Argentine advanced after a tightly contested opening two sets that both went to tiebreaks, before taking control in the third and fourth sets. The match marked a significant moment in the tournament as Del Potro, the 2009 champion, continued his run while Roddick, a former world No. 1 and 2003 US Open winner, played what would be among his final Grand Slam appearances before retirement.
