Henry Bernet was the reigning champion,[2][3] but was no longer eligible to participate in junior events. He received a wild card into the men's singles qualifying, but lost to Pablo Llamas Ruiz in the first round.

By qualifying for the main draw, Ntungamili Raguin became the first player representing Botswana, male or female, to contest a Grand Slam main draw in history.[4] Raguin eventually fell to the second seed, Luís Guto Miguel.
