Rafael Nadal was the defending champion, but lost to Thiem in the quarterfinals in a rematch of the previous year's final. His defeat ended a 50-set winning streak on clay, the longest single-surface set-winning streak in the Open Era.

Despite his withdrawal from the clay court season, Roger Federer regained the ATP No. 1 singles ranking as Nadal failed to defend his title.
