Federer was the defending champion, but lost in the semifinals to Safin in a rematch of the previous year's final, despite holding a match point in the fourth set. Federer's loss ended his 26-match winning streak dating to the 2004 US Open.[3]

The final attracted many viewers in Australia (primarily due to the presence of countryman Hewitt), averaging 4.05 million viewers.[4] The viewing audience remains one of the highest in Australian history. The match was broadcast in the host nation by host broadcaster the Seven Network with commentators Bruce McAvaney and two-time champion Jim Courier (in his first appearance on Australian commercial television).

This tournament was the first major in which future ten-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic competed in the main draw (lost to Safin in the first round), and the last Australian Open where four-time champion Andre Agassi competed in the main draw. Future 22-time major champion Rafael Nadal advanced beyond the third round of a major for the first time, losing to Hewitt in the fourth round. It was also the last major in which neither Federer, Nadal, nor Djokovic reached the final until the 2014 US Open, a span of 38 events.
