Novak Djokovic defeated Juan Martín del Potro in the final, 6–3, 7–6^(7–4), 6–3 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2018 US Open.^[1][2] It was his third US Open title and 14th major title overall.

Rafael Nadal was the defending champion, but he retired in the semifinals against del Potro in a rematch of the previous year's semifinal. Nadal and Roger Federer were in contention for the world No. 1 singles ranking; Nadal retained the top ranking after Federer lost in the fourth round.

This tournament marked the last major appearance for former world No. 3 and 2013 French Open finalist David Ferrer; he retired from his first round match against Nadal due to injury.^[3] This was also the first major since the 2017 Wimbledon Championships in which former world No. 1 Andy Murray participated, entering with a protected ranking. He lost in the second round to Fernando Verdasco.

This marked the first time in the tournament's history that seven former champions competed: Federer, del Potro, Nadal, Djokovic, Murray, Marin Čilić and Stan Wawrinka.

Peter Polansky became the first player in history to qualify for the main draw of all four majors as a lucky loser in a calendar year.^[4]
