Karel Nováček was the defending champion but chose to compete in Hilversum at the same week, winning the tournament.

Pete Sampras won the title by defeating Alberto Mancini 6–3, 7–5, 6–3 in the final.[1] It was the first title for Sampras on clay, who will only win 3 titles on this surface in his entire career (the others were Rome in 1994 and Atlanta in 1998).[2][3][4]
