Absences and Favorites
This year, the tournament will proceed without two major names. Carlos Alcaraz, who has been sidelined from competition for a while, has decided to skip this Masters as well, while Jannik Sinner has also withdrawn from the event. In the absence of the top seeds, the role of the primary favorite goes to Alexander Zverev, who will lead the seeded players.
Additionally, Alexander Bublik will miss the tournament this year as well. Bublik has consistently chosen to skip Cincinnati since 2021 because the tournament dates coincide with his son’s birthday, which he considers more important than any tennis tournament.
