Pete Sampras was the reigning champion, but he retired from professional tennis in August of that year.

Andy Roddick claimed his first and only Grand Slam title, defeating Juan Carlos Ferrero, 6–3, 7–6(7–2), 6–3, in the final. Roddick is the most recent American male singles player to win the US Open singles title as well as any other Grand Slam singles title.

This was the first US Open where Rafael Nadal appeared in the main draw, and this was also the final Grand Slam appearance of former top-5 player and Grand Slam champion Michael Chang in the tournament.

It was also future world number 4 and Grand Slam finalist Tomáš Berdych in his maiden slam entering the main draw as a lucky loser.
