Marat Safin was the defending champion, but lost in the semifinals to Sampras in a rematch of the previous year's final.

Former two-time champion Pat Rafter made his final major singles appearance, losing in the fourth round to Sampras. This was the first major main draw appearance of future ATP Finals champion David Nalbandian.

The high-profile quarterfinal match between Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi was an all-time classic match, and saw both Sampras and Agassi each hold serve in every single one of their 24 service games apiece. The match had no breaks of serve at all, and ended with Sampras winning 6–7(7–9), 7–6(7–2), 7–6(7–2), 7–6(7–5).

This was the first time the US Open used 32 seeds instead of 16, in order to better spread out the higher ranked players.
