Who are the favourites?
The Cincinnati ATP Masters 1000 event has a long list of potential title contenders. But it is probably led by three men: Daniil Medvedev, Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal. The latter is having a great 2022 season but has always been held back by injuries. This was also the case in the run-up to the Cincinnati event, which is why there are still some question marks associated with the Spaniard's appearances. Medvedev and Alcaraz, on the other hand, have a lot to make up for after their opening defeats in Montreal.
In addition, Nick Kyrgios, newly crowned Washington winner, Stefanos Tsitsipas, the current number five in the world and players like Jannik Sinner, Andrey Rublev, Casper Ruud, Hubert Hurkacz or Felix Auger-Aliassime can calculate chances of a deep run in Ohio.
Who is missing from Cincinnati?
Big absentees are undoubtedly Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev and Dominic Thiem. The latter would like to start in Winston-Salem at least in the week before the US Open, but Zverev's appearance in New York City is just as uncertain as Novak Djokovic's. However, while the latter has to hope for a change in entry regulations, the native of Hamburg needs a speedy recovery.
