Roger Federer was the two-time reigning champion, but withdrew due to a knee injury.

This marked the first tournament Novak Djokovic participated in where he failed to reach the final since the 2015 Qatar Open, snapping a streak of 17 finals, when he was forced to retire from his quarterfinal match against Feliciano López due to an eye injury.
