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 ATP 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.
