The SAP Open 2012 was a tennis tournament that took place from February 13th to 19th, 2012 in San José . It was played indoors on a hard court. In the same week, the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam and the Brasil Open in São Paulo were played. The latter, like the SAP Open, belong to the ATP World Tour 250 category , while the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament belongs to the ATP World Tour 500 category .
In the individual, Milos Raonic from Canada was able to successfully defend his previous year's title by beating Uzbek Denis Istomin in the final . This was his second ATP title in 2012 and the third of his career overall. Istomin, on the other hand, is still waiting for his first title after his second final. The Bulgarian Dimitar Kutrowski caused a little surprise, as a qualifier in his first ATP tournament - also due to a lucky draw - immediately reached the quarter-finals. In May 2012, however, the ATP announced that Kutrowski had been found to be the banned substance methylhexanamine , which he said he had consumed through the Jack3D dietary supplement . Kutrowski was then banned for two years.
In doubles, Scott Lipsky and Rajeev Ram went to defend their title and reached the semi-finals. The tournament victory went to Mark Knowles and Xavier Malisse , who prevailed in the final against Kevin Anderson and Frank Moser . This was their second joint ATP title, the first in 2012. Knowles had won 53 titles with other partners over the course of his career, Malisse five. Anderson and Moser, on the other hand, missed winning their first double title.
The field of participants in the single competition consisted of 28 players, that of the doubles competition consisted of 16 pairs. The four top seeded players in the singles each got a bye into the second round.
