The men's singles wheelchair tennis tournament at the 2024 Paralympic Games in France will be held at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris from 30 August to 7 September 2024.[1]

Japan's Tokito Oda defeated Great Britain's Alfie Hewett in the final, 6–2, 4-6, 7-5 to win the gold medal in men's singles wheelchair tennis at the 2024 Paris Paralympics. At the age of 18 years and 123 days, Oda became the youngest player to win Paralympic men's singles gold medal, overtaking previous record-holder Ricky Molier of the Netherlands, who was 20 years and 70 days in 1996 in Atlanta[2].

In the bronze medal match, Argentina's Gustavo Fernandez defeated Spain's Martín de la Puente to win the first Paralympic medal in wheelchair tennis for Argentina and South America[3].

Japan's Shingo Kunieda was the defending gold medalist, but he did not participate in this edition as he retired from wheelchair tennis in January 2023[4].
