Final score | 3–6, 6–3, 6–2, 6–4 |
Yevgeny Kafelnikov was the defending champion, but he lost to Andre Agassi in the final, 3–6, 6–3, 6–2, 6–4. This was notably the first Australian Open that Roger Federer competed in and the first time he went beyond the first round in a grand slam. Also, this marks the beginning of Federer's 65-consecutive slam appearance streak, which ended with his withdrawal at the 2016 French Open. This was also where former champion Jim Courier made his final grand slam appearance.
