The main draw was led by Australian Open runner-up and Sydney doubles champion Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, 2007 Bucharest semifinalist Gaël Monfils, and Houston quarterfinalist Agustín Calleri.
However, due to number one seed Gaël Monfils withdrawing with a knee injury, Blake gained entry into the main draw where he lost in the second round.

Lleyton Hewitt was the defending champion, having defeated Gaël Monfils 7–5, 6–3 in the 2011 final, but he competed in the Apia International instead.
