2005 US Open
Champion	Roger Federer
Runner-up	Andre Agassi
Final score	6–3, 2–6, 7–6^(7–1), 6–1
Draw	128
Seeds	32

This was the first US Open that future champions Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka competed in the main draw. Noteworthy in this tournament was a strong performance by the American men, despite former champion and world #1 Andy Roddick losing in the first round. Wildcard James Blake made the quarterfinal, upsetting No. 2 Rafael Nadal in the third round before eventually losing to Agassi in a five-set match. Unheralded American Robby Ginepri, whose run was enhanced by Roddick's early defeat, made it all the way to the semi-final and lost to Agassi in another five-set match.

This was also the last Grand Slam tournament for former world no. 6 and French Open Champion Albert Costa.
