Turneul este la cea de-a 46-a ediţie. Finalele de până acum, cu Andrei Pavel campion la simplu în 1998, la sfârşitul ştirii.
Acesta a fost primul titlu al carierei pentru jucătorul nostru, pe atunci în vârstă de 24 de ani, clasat pe locul 109 ATP. După turneu avea să progreseze pe locul 68.

Dacă la actuala ediţie, deţinătorul titlului, Daniil Medvedev nu este prezent, îşi face reintrarea în circuit liderul ATP, Novak Djokovic, care nu mai jucase de la US Open – unde abandonase în optimi – din cauza unei probleme la umăr.

El îl va întâlni mâine în primul tur (R32) pe Alexei Popyrin (Australia, 94 ATP) [Q].

Capii de serie au fost repartizaţi astfel pe tablou:

Jumătatea superioară

Sfertul 1: Djokovic [1], Pouille [5]

Sfertul 2: Goffin [3], Cilic [6]

Jumătatea inferioară

Sfertul 3: Fritz [7], Paire [4]

Sfertul 4: De Minaur [8], Coric [2]

Astăzi, în primul tur al probei de dublu:

Dominic Inglot (Marea Britanie, 46 ATP la dublu) / Austin Krajicek (SUA, 42) – Jean-Julien Rojer (Olanda, 19) / Horia Tecău (20) 6-1, 6-3 în 52′.
Echipa româno-olandeză nu a reuşit nici un break şi a câştigat doar 34 din cele 86 de puncte jucate.

După finala disputată la 500 Series Washington, Horia şi Jean-Julien au pierdut de 3 ori în turul 1 – precedentele dăţi la Masters 1000 Cincinnati şi US Open – şi de două ori în turul 2, la Masters 1000 Montréal şi săptămâna trecută la 250 Series Zhuhai.
