Where is it played?

Due to the corona pandemic, the Cincinnati ATP Masters 1000 tournament will be held at the National Tennis Center in New York City this year. It is played on all courts with the exception of the two largest stadiums: Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong.

Who is there? Who are the favorites?

In contrast to women, the flood of rejections among men is limited. With Roger Federer , Rafael Nadal and Gael Monfils, three top ten players are missing, but overall the tournament is very well attended. Novak Djokovic leads the field, followed by Dominic Thiem , defending champion Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas . Alexander Zverev will go into the tournament as number five.

Where will the tournament be broadcast on TV and live stream?

The Cincinnati ATP Masters 1000 tournament will be broadcast on Sky on TV and livestream from Saturday. The transmission starts at 5 p.m. CEST.

What about the prize money?

Compared to previous years, significantly less prize money will be paid out due to the lack of audience income, but above all in the later rounds. The winner receives 285,000 US dollars (in 2019 it was 1,114,225 US dollars). In return, there is more prize money to be earned in qualifying and the first two rounds than there was a year ago.
