Andrey Rublev was the defending champion, but lost in the semifinals to Bautista Agut.[1] Rublev's run to the semifinals was notable for his not hitting a single ball, having received a bye in the first round and walkovers in both the second round and quarterfinals.
This tournament marked the return of former world No. 1 Federer to the tour for the first time since the 2020 Australian Open, due to a pair of knee surgeries since then.[2] His defeat to Basilashvili marked a record-extending 24th and final loss from match point up in his career.
