The final was a rematch of the Rome final a month prior, in which Norman had prevailed. The match took a dramatic turn in the fourth set, when on match point, at 15-40 on his own serve, Norman challenged a call that was ruled out, ending the match. The empire overruled in favor of Norman, extending the match, whence Norman would go on to save another nine match points, until 52 points later, Kuerten finally prevailed on the eleventh match point, 8-6 in the 4th set tiebreak.

Andre Agassi was the defending champion, but lost in the second round to Karol Kučera.
