Tennis at the 2004 Summer Olympics
Singles		men		women
Doubles		men		women

The men's singles competition at the 2004 Summer Olympics was part of the tennis program for the games, and was held at the Olympic Tennis Centre in Athens, Greece.

Nicolás Massú of Chile defeated Mardy Fish of the United States 6-3 3-6 2-6 6-3 6-4 in the final to win the Gold Medal in Men's Singles at the 2004 Summer Olympics.

The major upset in the first round came when Jiri Novak took advantage of Tim Henman's inconsistent play this year beating him in straight sets. The second round saw some more shock wins, none bigger than world number one Roger Federer's defeat at the hands of world 74th ranked Czech, Tomáš Berdych. Fifth seed Juan Carlos Ferrero and ninth seed Marat Safin's hopes of gold also disappeared as they also both made early exits.
