Murray became the first British man to reach a major final since Greg Rusedski at the 1997 US Open, and was attempting to become the first British man to win a major title since Fred Perry in 1936. Murray would eventually achieve the latter by winning the US Open title four years later.

Gilles Muller became the first player from Luxembourg to reach a major quarterfinal.

Rafael Nadal was attempting to become the first man to achieve the Surface Slam (winning majors on clay, grass and hard courts in the same calendar year), having already won the French Open and Wimbledon titles. He also could have become the first man to win the French Open, Wimbledon and US Open since Rod Laver in 1969, but lost to Murray in the semifinals. He would eventually do it two years later.

This was Juan Martín del Potro's first major appearance as a seeded player. He lost in the quarterfinals against Murray to end a 23-match winning streak. He would go on to win the title the following year. Another future champion, Marin Čilić, appeared in the main draw of the US Open for the first time.

This was the last major for 2002 Australian Open champion and former world No. 7 Thomas Johansson.
