In the draw for the tournament, there were accusations[citation needed] of American favoritism as world No. 3 Michael Chang, world No. 8 Andre Agassi, and world No. 9 Jim Courier (all Americans) were seeded above their world ranking at numbers 2, 6, and 8 respectively. Other players were seeded above their world ranking, including world No. 6 Goran Ivanišević (seeded at number 4) and world No. 7 Richard Krajicek (seeded at number 5). Conversely, other players were seeded below their world ranking, including world No. 2 Thomas Muster (seeded at number 3), world No. 5 Boris Becker (seeded at number 6), and world No. 4 Yevgeny Kafelnikov (seeded at number 7). Becker withdrew from the tournament with an injury, and Kafelnikov withdrew from the tournament in protest of the seeding.

This marked the last major appearance of Stefan Edberg; he lost to Ivanišević in the quarterfinals.
