Roger Federer defeated Marcos Baghdatis in the final, 5–7, 7–5, 6–0, 6–2 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2006 Australian Open.[1] It was his second Australian Open title and his seventh major title overall. It was his seventh victory in as many career major finals, an Open Era record.[2] Baghdatis was the first Cypriot to reach a major final.[3][4]

Marat Safin was the reigning champion, but withdrew due to injury.

This was the first main draw Australian Open appearance for future champion Stanislas Wawrinka and five time runner-up Andy Murray.
