The finalists defeated Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic 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 (when Djokovic defeated Jo-Wilfried Tsonga), and the first Grand Slam with two first-time Slam finalists since the 2005 French Open (where Nadal defeated Mariano Puerta). 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.

Between the 2005 Australian Open and 2020 US Open, this was the only Grand Slam final where none of the Big Four featured in the final.

Nishikori became the first Japanese player to reach the Grand Slam semifinal since Jiro Sato at the 1933 French Championships (now French Open), 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.[3]

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 (2002 - 2014). This was also the first US Open appearance for the 2020 US Open champion Dominic Thiem, who reached the fourth round before losing to Tomáš Berdych.
