Score6–4, 6–1

Tie-breaks were used for the first two sets of each match, which was the best of three sets. If the score was tied at one set all, a "champions tie break" (the first player to win at least 10 points or by a margin of two points) would be used.

Marcelo Ríos was the defending champion, but did not compete this year to focus on an exhibition match against Andy Roddick.[1]

Félix Mantilla won the title by defeating Albert Costa 6–4, 6–1 in the final.[2] Magnus Gustafsson took the third place.
