Mens 2004 Result -

Last year saw Roger Federer produce an outstanding performance to beat Lleyton Hewitt and win his first US Open title. The world number one was at times unplayable and withstood a Hewitt fightback to win 6-0 7-6 (7-3) 6-0.

Hewitt came into the final on a 16-match winning streak but Federer took control with a stunning first love set.  Hewitt battled superbly in the second but faltered in the tie-break, and Federer powered through the third for his fourth Grand Slam title.

Federer became the first man in history to win his first four Grand Slam finals, and the first man since Mats Wilander in 1988 to win three Grand Slams in a year, following victories in Australia and at Wimbledon.
