He is the only player to have previously reached the final in Morocco (2007, l. to Mathieu).

Vesely, who arrived in Marrakech with a solitary ATP match win in 2016 (Rotterdam 1R d. Rosol), matched his 2015 run to the semis by beating 2014 champion Guillermo Garcia-Lopez in the quarter-finals. Coric played his first match in Marrakech in the quarters, beating 2007 champion Paul-Henri Mathieu after a first-round bye and a second-round walkover from Simone Bolelli (left knee injury).
