Rafael Nadal was the defending champion, but he retired in the semifinals against del Potro. Nadal and Roger Federer were in contention for the ATP no. 1 singles ranking; Nadal retained the top ranking after Federer lost in the fourth round.

This tournament was the last major for former world No. 3 David Ferrer; he retired from his first round match against Nadal due to injury.[3] This was also the first major since Wimbledon 2017 in which former world No. 1 Andy Murray participated, entering with a protected ranking. He lost in the second round to Fernando Verdasco.

This marked the first time in the tournament's history that seven former men's singles champions competed: Federer, del Potro, Nadal, Djokovic, Murray, Marin Čilić and Stan Wawrinka.

Peter Polansky became the first player in history to qualify for the main draw of all four majors as a lucky loser in a calendar year.[4]
