Sergi Bruguera was the two-time defending champion, but lost to Chang in the semifinals.

During the tournament, Mats Wilander and Karel Novacek tested positive for cocaine, which eventually resulted in a three-month suspension from the ATP Tour issued in May 1997. In addition, both players had to return prize money and forfeit ranking points.[1][2]
