In the final against the qualifier and compatriot Gerwin Valentijn Jaspers had to fight. After a 1: 2 set deficit and match point in the fourth set for Valentijn, Jaspers won 3: 2 sets. Third place went to Frédéric Caudron , who already led 2-0 sets in the semifinals against Valentijn, against Torbjörn Blomdahl . The Turk Semih Saygıner was able to secure all tournament records . In the first round against the Korean Hwan Deuk-hee, he was even able to finish a set in just one shot.

The exact price money could not be determined from the documents.
