Roddick, who turned 30 years old on Thursday, is the last American man to win the New York grand slam, in 2003.
"I just feel like it's time," the former world No. 1 told reporters after making his announcement.
"I don't know that I'm
healthy enough or committed enough to go another year. I've always
wanted to, in a perfect world, finish at this event -- I have a lot of
family and friends here," Roddick said, according to a recording of his
news conference posted on the U.S. Open's website.
"I've thought all year that I would know when I got to this tournament. When I was playing my first round, I knew."
