Jack Sock was the defending champion, but lost to Dominic Thiem in the quarterfinals.^[2] As a result, Sock fell out of the top 100 in the rankings, after starting the season inside the top 10.

Rafael Nadal and Djokovic were in contention for the world No. 1 singles ranking. Djokovic regained the top spot after winning his opening match following Nadal's withdrawal from the tournament.^[3]

This tournament marked the first time since the 1998 Stuttgart Masters that no French or Spanish players reached the round-of-16 of a Masters event.
