Marat Safin was the defending champion, but lost in the semifinals to Sampras in a rematch of the previous year's final.

This was the last major appearance of former world No. 1 and two-timeUS Open championPat Rafter; he lost in the fourth round to Sampras. This was also the last major appearance of two-timeFrench Open champion and former world No. 3Sergi Bruguera; he lost in the first round toChristophe Rochus. This was the first major main draw appearance of futureTour Finals championDavid Nalbandian.
