Marin Čilić was the defending champion, but lost to Djokovic in the semifinals.
This was the first time since the 2010 US Open that Andy Murray lost before the quarterfinals of a major, losing to Kevin Anderson in the fourth round. This ended a streak of 18 consecutive major quarterfinals (not counting the 2013 French Open, which he missed due to injury).[3]
This marked the last US Open appearances for 2001 champion and former world No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt, and former world No. 2 Tommy Haas.
