Mats Wilander defeated three-time defending champion Ivan Lendl in a rematch of the previous year's final, 6–4, 4–6, 6–3, 5–7, 6–4 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 1988 US Open.[1] It was his first US Open singles title and seventh and last major singles title overall. It was the longest US Open men's singles final in history, lasting 4 hours and 54 minutes.[2] With the win, Wilander gained the world No. 1 singles ranking for the first time, displacing Lendl.

Aged 15 years and 2 months, Tommy Ho was the youngest man in the Open Era to appear in the main draw of a major. He lost in the first round to Johan Kriek.

This tournament marked the first major main draw appearances of future 14-time major champion Pete Sampras and future four-time major champion Jim Courier.[3]
