Background

This was the third appearance of the men's singles tennis. The event has been held at every Summer Olympics where tennis has been on the program: from 1896 to 1924 and then from 1988 to the current program. Demonstration events were held in 1968 and 1984.

Beals Wright was one of the 1903 U.S. doubles champions. Robert LeRoy was the 1903 European champion.[1]

No nations made their debut in the event. Germany and the United States both made their second appearance.

Competition format

The competition was a single-elimination tournament with no bronze-medal match (both semifinal losers tied for third). All matches, including the final, were best-of-three sets.
