Carlos Alcaraz is the defending champion.[1] This marked his first singles appearance in over four months, following a wrist injury he suffered at the Barcelona Open.[2]

Novak Djokovic's first-round defeat to Mariano Navone marked only his third career loss in the opening round of a major, his first opening-round loss at the US Open, and his earliest loss at a major since the 2006 Australian Open.[3] This marked the first time that none of the Big Three reached the second round of a major since the 2003 French Open.[4]

This tournament marked the first absence from a major of current world No. 1 Jannik Sinner since the 2019 Wimbledon Championships.[5]

This tournament will mark the final major appearances of 2016 champion, three-time major champion and former world No. 3 Stan Wawrinka, and former world No. 6 Gaël Monfils.[6] Wawrinka lost in the first round to Matteo Berrettini.
