Main article: 2002 US Open (tennis)

Pete Sampras defeated Andre Agassi in the final, 6–3, 6–4, 5–7, 6–4 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2002 US Open. It was his record-extending 14th and final major title. The final was also a rematch of the 1990 and 1995 US Open finals, where Sampras won his first and seventh major titles respectively. It was Sampras' last professional appearance, though he did not officially announce his retirement until 2003. Sampras became the only man in the Open Era to win the final major at which he played.

Lleyton Hewitt was the defending champion, but lost to Agassi in the semifinals.

Notably, this was the most recent occasion that eight different men appeared in the four major singles finals in a calendar year.
