Lleyton Hewitt defeated Pete Sampras in the final, 7–6^(7–4), 6–1, 6–1 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2001 US Open. It was his first major title.

Marat Safin was the defending champion, but lost in the semifinals to Sampras in a rematch of the previous year's final.

Former two-time champion Pat Rafter made his final major singles appearance, losing in the fourth round to Sampras. This was the first major main draw appearance of future ATP Finals champion David Nalbandian.

This was the first time the US Open used 32 seeds instead of 16, in order to better spread out the higher ranked players.
