The men's singles tournament brought together ten representatives of the Top-20 of the world ranking (five of them were among the Top-10). Both leaders of the ranking came to the tournament: last year’s winner of the tournament and the first number in the world Novak Djokovic and the second racket of the world Rafael Nadal . The Spaniard could not reach the decisive match, losing in the quarterfinal to Slovak Martin Klizjan , who made his way to the tournament through qualification. As a result, the winners of the last five draws of the tournament met in the final: Djokovic, who won the tournament in 2009-10 and 2012-13, and Tomas Berdykh , who was able to win here in 2011. As a result, the Serb managed to defend his league title and win the local competition for the fifth time. Two representatives of Russia took part in the tournament: Teymuraz Gabashvili and Mikhail Yuzhny . Both tennis players lost in the first round.

The women's single tournament brought together almost all the strongest tennis players in the world: out of the top ten, there was only the fifth racket in the world, Chinese Li Na , who in September announced the end of her sports career. [1] Serena Williams, the leader of the rating and last year’s winner of the tournament, reached the quarter-finals, but didn’t reach the match against Samantha , referring to a knee injury [2] .
