The singles field was led by ATP No. 16, Rome Masters semifinalist and San Jose finalist Radek Stepanek, Munich semifinalist Paul-Henri Mathieu, and Hamburg Masters quarterfinalist Fernando Verdasco. Among other players competing were Queen's Club quarterfinalist and Nottingham defending champion Ivo Karlovic, Casablanca titlist Gilles Simon, Dmitry Tursunov, Andreas Seppi and Gael Monfils.

Notable stories

Tursunov's expulsion

Russian sixth seed Dmitry Tursunov was expelled from the tournament by the ATP after he stormed off the court in his doubles' first round match, dismayed at a decision from the line judge, as Simone Bolelli and Andreas Seppi led him and partner Chris Haggard 6–4, 3–1. While Tursunov was expected to receive a fine, the ATP decided to deliver a more severe punishment, withdrawing him from the singles event. His scheduled second round opponent, Thomas Johansson, was given a walkover into the quarterfinals.cite news|author=BBC Sport|title=Tursunov kicked out of tournament | url =http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/7460809.stm|date =2008-06-18| accessdate =2008-06-18| language =English]
