Jan Kodeš was the defending champion, but lost in the quarterfinals to Connors.

Uniquely, due to the WCT ban in place at the 1972 championships and the ATP boycott of 1973, three unofficial "defending champions" competed in the event. John Newcombe, Stan Smith and Kodeš were all unbeaten from their last singles matches at the championships when this year's event commenced.
