Alcaraz, Djokovic, and Daniil Medvedev were in contention for the men's singles No. 1 ranking. Alcaraz retained the No. 1 ranking with his victory, [2][3] and became the first player to qualify for the year-end championships.[4]
For the first time since Lleyton Hewitt in 2002, the top seed and the winner of the event was not a member of the Big Four. Stan Wawrinka was attempting to complete the career Grand Slam, but was defeated by Djokovic in the third round.
Djokovic's loss ended his third major bid (after winning the Australian Open and the French Open) to become the first man to win all four Grand Slam events in a calendar year since Rod Laver in 1969. He previously lost his first attempt at Wimbledon in 2016, and his second, at the US Open, in 2021.
