Alexander Zverev was the defending champion,[3] but he was defaulted from the tournament prior to his second-round match after he showed unsportsmanlike conduct at the conclusion of his first-round doubles match, repeatedly hitting the umpire’s chair with his racquet and using obscene language.[4]

Daniil Medvedev was in contention to claim the world No. 1 singles ranking.[5] After Novak Djokovic lost in the quarterfinals in Dubai, Medvedev clinched the top ranking, making him the 27th player to ever hold the position.[6] Medvedev became the first player outside of the Big Four to reach the world number 1 ranking since Andy Roddick in February 2004, ending the Big Four's 943-week streak with the No. 1 ranking.[7]

For the first time since the 2013 China Open, four of the top five ranked players competed at the same ATP 500 tournament.[8]

The first-round match between Zverev and Jenson Brooksby had the latest-ever finish in an ATP Tour match when it ended at 4:55 a.m. local time, passing the previous record of 4:34 a.m. local time set by Lleyton Hewitt and Marcos Baghdatis at the 2008 Australian Open. At three hours and twenty-two minutes, it was also the longest match ever played at the Mexican Open.[8]
