Roger Federer was the defending champion, but lost in the semifinals to Novak Djokovic, who went on to win the tournament by defeating Andy Murray 6–4, 6–2, 6–3 in the final. It was Djokovic's 2nd title at the Australian Open, with this title bearing many resemblances to his title in 2008. Djokovic only dropped one set in both tournaments. He also defeated the defending champion, Federer, in the semifinals both times in straight sets. Also, he was the runner-up in the previous year's US Open on both occasions before winning the next major.
