Tie breaks were used for the first two sets of each match, which was the best of three sets. If the score was tied at one set all, a "champions tie break" (the first player to win at least 10 points or by a margin of two points) would be used.

Sergi Bruguera won the inaugural edition by defeating Carlos Costa 6–1, 6–4 in the final.[1][2]
