The fleet-footed Frenchman has been in impressive form in the second half of this year after being hampered by injury during the clay-court season.
He reached the semi-finals at Queen's Club before going on to beat home favourite Tim Henman en-route to the semi-finals at Wimbledon.
Grosjean's record at the US Open is modest, which is surprising considering his impressive record on hard courts.
Indeed he won through to the semi-finals at the Australian Open in 2001 and the last eight a year later.
Yet the 25-year-old, who is based at Boca Raton in Florida, has never been past the third round at Flushing Meadows.
Grosjean is one of the most naturally talented players on tour - a natural volleyer with outstanding reflexes and fabulous court coverage.
At just 5ft 9ins tall, he has a surprisingly powerful serve, as he showed at Wimbledon earlier in the year.
