This marked the first major main-draw appearance for future world No. 1 and two-time major champion Carlos Alcaraz; he lost to Mikael Ymer in the second round. At 17 years old, Alcaraz became the youngest man to win a main-draw match at the Australian Open since Bernard Tomic in the 2009 Australian Open, defeating fellow qualifier Botic van de Zandschulp in the previous round.

Aslan Karatsev became the first male qualifier to reach a major semifinal since Vladimir Voltchkov in the 2000 Wimbledon Championships, and the first since Bob Giltinan in December 1977 to do so at the Australian Open. He was also the lowest-ranked player to reach a major semifinal since Goran Ivanišević (ranked 125) at the 2001 Wimbledon Championships, the lowest ranked to do so at the Australian Open since Patrick McEnroe (also ranked 114) in 1991, and the first man to reach a major semifinal in the Open Era on his main draw debut.

This was the first major in the Open Era to feature three Russian men in the quarterfinals, those being Karatsev, Medvedev and Andrey Rublev.
