Defending champion in the singles was Rafael Nadal ; he reached the final again in 2011, but failed there in two sets to Novak Đoković . This was Đoković's seventh title of the season in a row, so he remained unbeaten in the 2011 season. In doubles, the Bryan brothers competed as defending champions, but they failed in the quarterfinals. The American couples Mardy Fish / Andy Roddick and John Isner / Sam Querrey qualified for the final. However, since Roddick could not compete due to a shoulder injury, last year's finalists Isner / Querrey became the 2011 titleholders without a fight.
