The 30-year-old American defeated Australian teen Bernard Tomic 6-3, 6-4, 6-0 in only 87 minutes before a packed Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd of 24,674 just a day after announcing that the US Open would be his final career tournament.
"I had no idea what was going to happen out there," Roddick said. "That was a different kind of nerves than I've had before. That was surprising for me.
"It was great. I took a look around and I didn't even feel bad about it. Literally I took a look around. I had a good time. When they were dancing and stuff on the switch-overs I was just watching. That was a lot of fun."
"When it's what you're going to do the next week and a month from now, you are so consumed by what's going on in the next five minutes that you don't really notice stuff," Roddick said.
