2014 US Open – Men's Singles
defeated
Kei Nishikori
in the final 6–3, 6–3, 6–3 to win the Men's
Singles tennis
title
at the
2014 US Open
.
Rafael Nadal
was the defending champion, but withdrew before the tournament began because of a right
wrist injury
.
The finalists
defeated
Novak Djokovic
and
Roger Federer
in their respective semi-finals to guarantee a new champion, the first
Grand Slam
final with a guaranteed new champion since the
2008 Australian Open
, and the first Grand Slam with two first-time Slam finalists since the
2005 French Open
. Nishikori and Čilić were also the two lowest-ranked seeds to reach the
US Open
final since
Pete Sampras
won the title in
2002
as
the 17th
seed.
As of the end of 2019, this was the last Grand Slam final where none of the
Big Four
has featured in the final since the
2005 Australian Open
.
Nishikori became the first Japanese player to reach the Grand Slam semifinal since
Jiro Sato
at the
1933 French Championships
, and the first Japanese
man
to do so in the
Open Era
.
Čilić beat Nishikori to become the second Croatian to win a Grand Slam
men's singles
title after his
coach
Goran Ivanišević
triumphed at
2001 Wimbledon
.
This was also the last
Grand Slam tournament
for French player
Michaël Llodra
and Canadian
Frank Dancevic
, and the last
US
Open
appearance
for
Albert Montañes
, who participated in 13 consecutives editions.
