Rafael Nadal defeated Novak Djokovic in the final 6–4, 5–7, 6–4, 6–2 to win the Men's Singles tennis title at the 2010 US Open. It was Nadal's ninth career major and he completed the Career Golden Slam with the win. Nadal reached the final without dropping a set. Nadal became the first player since Rod Laver in 1969 to win the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open in the same calendar year, and became the first male player in history to win the Surface Slam (majors on clay, grass, and hard courts in the same calendar year).^{[citation needed]} Nadal became the first Spanish man to win the US Open since Manuel Orantes in 1975.

Defending champion Juan Martín del Potro chose not to participate this year, after undergoing a wrist operation in May and only starting to practice again in August. Del Potro became the third man in the Open Era not to attempt to defend his US Open title, after Ken Rosewall in 1971 and Pete Sampras in 2003.^[1][2] For the first time in US Open history, no American player was seeded in the top 8.
