1997 Stella Artois Championships – Singles

Boris Becker was the defending champion but did not compete that year.

Mark Philippoussis won in the final 7–5, 6–3 against Goran Ivanišević.

In one of the semifinals, Goran Ivanišević defeated Greg Rusedski by winning 20–18 in the third set tiebreak. This was considered the longest tiebreak ever played in an ATP tournament and triple tied the record with two Grand Slam matches, Björn Borg against Premjit Lall at the 1973 Wimbledon Championships and Ivanišević himself against Daniel Nestor at the 1993 US Open.
