Aslan Karatsev was the defending champion, but lost to Mackenzie McDonald in the first round.

This tournament marked Novak Djokovic’s first appearance of the season, as he was unable to compete at the Australian Open due to the cancellation of his visa. As a result of his quarterfinal loss to Veselý, Djokovic lost the world No. 1 ranking to Daniil Medvedev.
