Two-time defending champion Ivan Lendl successfully defended his title, defeating Mats Wilander in the final, 6–2, 6–2, 6–3 to win the singles title at the 1987 Nabisco Masters.

In this year, the semifinal pairings were decided by a racket spin. This resulted in the two first placed players of each group playing each other again; in the case of Stefan Edberg and Wilander, for the second time in 24 hours (Edberg won the round robin match, but Wilander won the semifinal the following day).[1]
