The men’s singles tennis event at the 1896 Olympic Games was contested as an individual tournament in which players advanced through sectional rounds before the semi-finals and final. The competition was played on courts at the Neo Phaleron Velodrome and the Athens Lawn Tennis Club. Although not all early match scores are known, the event produced a clear final ranking and reflected the knockout-based structure of early Olympic tennis.
