2016 US Open – Men's Singles
defeated defending champion
Novak Djokovic
, 6–7
, 6–4, 7–5, 6–3 to
capture
the Men's
Singles tennis
title at the
2016 US Open
. This was the first time the
men's singles
champion at the
US Open
won the title after being a
match point
down since Djokovic in 2011, with Wawrinka having saved a
match
point against
Dan Evans
in the 3rd round. As he had done in his 2 previous
grand slam
titles, Wawrinka again defeated
the world
No. 1 in the final. Djokovic also became
the third man
in the
Open Era
to lose five
Grand Slam
finals
at one event.
This was the first US Open since
1999
not to feature five-time champion
Roger Federer
. It was also the first
Grand Slam tournament
since the
2004 French Open
in which none of Federer,
Rafael Nadal
, or
Andy Murray
reached the semifinals. This was the first time since the
2010 French Open
that only one of the
Big Four
players advanced to the semifinals.
No
American
player was seeded inside the
top 16
for the first time
since the introduction of the
seeding
system in
1930
.
This was the first Grand Slam that
Tomáš Berdych
, world number 8 at
the time
, had missed since his
maiden
Slam at the
2003 US Open
ending his streak of 52 consecutive grand slam appearances, sixth all time. The reason for his withdrawal was appendicitis.
It was also the last Grand Slam tournament for former World No. 10
Juan Monaco
and
german
player
Benjamin Becker
.
