Federer became the sixth man after Jack Crawford, Don Budge, Frank Sedgman, Lew Hoad and Rod Laver, to reach all four Grand Slam finals in one calendar year. He was also the second man to appear in all four finals in the Open Era since Laver. Earlier that year, he won titles at the Australian Open and at Wimbledon and lost to Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros. Andre Agassi played his last match against Benjamin Becker and retired after the US Open.

Future champion Juan Martín del Potro made his first appearance in the main draw of the US Open. This was also the first Grand Slam tournament in which future World No. 1 Novak Djokovic was seeded.
