The individual tournament was won by the Swede Thomas Enqvist , who was in second position , replacing last year's winner Karol Kučera . Kucera did not appear to defend the title. For Enqvist it was the second title of the season and the 18th of his career. In the final he defeated the hitherto largely unknown Swiss Roger Federer in five sets, who also made it into the double final.
The defending champions in doubles were South African Brent Haygarth and Aleksandar Kitinov from Macedonia, who no longer competed in this constellation . While Kitinov was not represented at the tournament, Haygarth failed with his compatriot Wayne Ferreira in the first round. Instead, the fourth-placed pairing consisting of the US American Donald Johnson and the South African Piet Norval won , which meant the third title of the double this year. In addition, it was Johnson's and Norval's 13th title of their careers, but in this constellation they only played together this season.
