Runner-up Ukraine Andriy Medvedev
Final score 1–6, 2–6, 6–4, 6–3, 6–4

Carlos Moyà was the defending champion, but lost in the fourth round to Andre Agassi.

Agassi won in the final, 1–6, 2–6, 6–4, 6–3, 6–4, against former World No. 4 Andriy Medvedev. With this win, Agassi became the second man, after Rod Laver, to complete a career Grand Slam in the Open Era. He also achieved a career Super Slam, the only men's singles player to do so.

This tournament was also the first Grand Slam tournament in which future 20-time Grand Slam champion and World No. 1 Roger Federer and future French Open champion Gaston Gaudio competed in the main draw; they lost to Patrick Rafter and Alex Corretja in the first round and third round, respectively.
