It was the 46th edition of the men's event and 31st of the women's event, and was classified as an ATP Tour Masters 1000 event on the 2019 ATP Tour and a Premier Mandatory event on the 2019 WTA Tour.

All top 75 ranked WTA and ATP Tour singles players were included in the initial entry list, but two-time champion Maria Sharapova announced her withdrawal three weeks before the tournament due to a right shoulder injury.
Juan Martín del Potro and Naomi Osaka were the defending champions in the men's and women's draw respectively. Del Potro withdrew before the tournament began due to a knee injury. Osaka lost in the fourth round to Belinda Bencic.
