Marin Čilić claimed his first grand slam title, defeating Kei Nishikori, also playing in his first major final. Both players defeated Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer 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 ). It was also the first time since the 2005 Australian Open final ( where Marat Safin defeated Lleyton Hewitt ) that neither Djokovic, Federer, nor Nadal has featured in a Grand Slam final, and the first time since 2003 ( when Juan Carlos Ferrero, Federer, and Andy Roddick all won their first major titles ) that multiple first - time Grand Slam winners have been crowned in a single season due to Stan Wawrinka 's win at the 2014 Australian Open. 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 17th seed. Čilić beat Nishikori 6 -- 3, 6 -- 3, 6 -- 3 to become the second Croatian to win a Grand Slam men 's singles title after his coach Goran Ivanišević triumphed at 2001 Wimbledon.
