Boris Becker was the defending champion,[2] but lost in the third round to John McEnroe.[3]

Future world No. 1 and two-time major singles champion Pat Rafter made his first major appearance.

This was the first time overall in the Open Era that a semifinal match at a major resulted in a walkover. Courier received a walkover into the final after Richard Krajicek withdrew before the match, because of tendinitis in his shoulder.
