Juan Martín del Potro was the reigning champion, but did not participate this year after undergoing a wrist operation in May and only starting to practice again in August. Del Potro thus became the third man in the Open Era not to attempt to defend the US Open title, after Ken Rosewall in 1971 and Pete Sampras in 2003.[1][2]

For the first time in history, no American man was seeded in the top eight at the US Open.
