Juan Carlos Ferrero was the defending champion, but lost in the second round to Igor Andreev, his first loss at the event prior to the semifinals.
Gaston Gaudio (ranked 44th) won in the final 0–6, 3–6, 6–4, 6–1, 8–6, against Guillermo Coria.
This was the first Grand Slam tournament in which Roger Federer competed as No. 1, having suffered a third round loss to former No. 1 and three-time champion Gustavo Kuerten, in what would be his last pre-quarterfinal exit from a Major until his second round loss to Sergiy Stakhovsky in the 2013 Wimbledon Championships, a run of 36 quarterfinals in a row.
After the conclusion of the 2016 US Open, this was the last major in which none of the semi-finalists had previously won a major.
