Roger Federer was the two-time defending champion, but lost in the fourth round to Stefanos Tsitsipas. Tsitsipas became the first Greek player to reach the semifinals at a singles major,^[2] after becoming the first man representing Greece to win a main-draw singles match at the Australian Open.^[3]

This was the first Australian Open since 1982 to feature a final set tie-break.^{[citation needed]} Upon reaching 6–6 in the fifth set, a match tie-break is played where the winner is the first to reach ten points and lead by two points.^[4] The first men's singles main-draw match to feature the ten-point tiebreak was the first-round match between Jérémy Chardy and Ugo Humbert.
