Main article: 2005 US Open (tennis)
Defending champion Roger Federer defeated Andre Agassi in the final, 6–3, 2–6, 7–6(7–1) , 6–1 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2005 US Open. It was his second US Open title and sixth major title overall. This was Agassi's last appearance in a major final.
This was the first US Open in which future champions Novak Djokovic , Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka competed in the main draw. Noteworthy in this tournament was a strong performance by American men, despite 2003 champion and former world No. 1 Andy Roddick losing in the first round. Wildcard James Blake reached the quarterfinals, upsetting world No. 2 Rafael Nadal in the third round before losing to Agassi. Robby Ginepri , whose run was enhanced by Roddick's early defeat, reached the semifinals and also lost to Agassi.
This was also the last major tournament for former world No. 6 and French Open champion Albert Costa .
