Andre Agassi was the defending champion, but lost in the semifinals to Safin. This ended his streak of 26 straight match wins at the Australian Open.

This was the only time in Andy Roddick's career where he was seeded first at a major. He lost to Safin in the quarterfinals.

13 seeded players lost in the first round, the most at a major since the 32-seed draw was adopted at the 2001 Wimbledon Championships.
