Main article: 2021 Australian Open

This tournament marked the first time since 1999 that Roger Federer did not enter the Australian Open, ending a record streak of 21 consecutive appearances. in the 21st century that Federer did not play at the Australian Open, withdrawing prior to the tournament.[6]

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.[7] 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 their main draw debut.[8]

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