context_section_description: On 7 July 2014, Novak Djokovic was announced as the tournament's first qualifier following his victory at the Wimbledon Championships and subsequent return to World No. 1 in the ATP Rankings.
  Novak Djokovic began the year by failing to defend his title at the Australian Open, losing to the eventual champion, Stanislas Wawrinka in a five-set upset, thus ending his 25-match winning streak at the event and his streak of 14 consecutive semi-final appearances at the grand slams. He recovered from the loss by winning back-to-back Masters 1000 titles at the BNP Paribas Open and Sony Open Tennis for the second time in his career, defeating Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal respectively. During the clay court season, Djokovic won the Internazionali BNL d'Italia for the third time, defeating Nadal in three sets before reaching his second French Open final, but once again lost in four sets. The following month, he ended his Grand Slam title drought by defeating Federer in a five-set final at Wimbledon Championships to claim his second title at the event and his seventh Slam singles title overall. He also returned to world no. 1 in the ATP Rankings as a result of the victory. Djokovic did not enjoy a successful US Open Series however, as he lost in the third round in both Canada and Cincinnati, marking the first time since 2009 where Djokovic has failed to reach the quarterfinals of consecutive Masters events. At the US Open, he was upset by Japan's Kei Nishikori in the semi-finals. Although he rebounded by winning his fifth title of the year at the China Open, his 28-match winning streak in China was snapped by Federer at the Shanghai Rolex Masters. However, the Serbian recovered by defending his title at the BNP Paribas Masters defeating Canadian Milos Raonic in the final. Djokovic is set to make his eighth consecutive appearance at this year's year-end championships.

Nadal reached the final of the Sony Open Tennis before falling to Novak Djokovic in straight sets. Nadal won the Mutua Madrid Open, after Kei Nishikori retired in the third set. Nadal then reached the final of the Internazionali BNL d'Italia losing to world no. 2 Novak Djokovic. At the French Open, Nadal defeated Novak Djokovic in four sets to win his ninth French Open title and a fifth straight win at Roland Garros. Nadal equaled Pete Sampras' total of 14 Grand Slam wins, the second highest number of single Grand Slam titles after Roger Federer. Nadal then entered the Wimbledon Championships in a bid to win the tournament for the third time and to win his 15th Grand Slam title overall, but he lost in the fourth round to the Australian teenager Nick Kyrgios (ranked no. 143), marking the third consecutive time he has failed to reach the quarterfinals of the said slam. Nadal then skipped the entire US Open Series due to a right wrist injury. He came back in the Asian swing and Swiss Indoors Basel but didn't have much success falling before the semifinals in the events he entered. Nadal then withdrew from the BNP Paribas Masters.
