Berettini and Sinner at the Cincinnati Master: the entry list

Only one week leftATP Master 1000 in Cincinnati, the second major tournament of swing on North American hardcourt, but the entry list of the Western & Southern Open still appears extremely uncertain. If none of the most anticipated names have yet to forfeit at the moment, the situation could quickly change in the coming days.

Master 1000 Cincinnati, in doubt Zverev, Nadal and Djokovic

The biggest question marks concern Alexander Zverev, Rafael Nadal e Novak Djokovic. The German, No. 2 in the world and winner in Cincinnati last year, he is still struggling with the after-effects of the dramatic injury suffered during the Roland Garros semifinal. His goal is to be on the field at the US Open, but if, after Montreal, he withdraws from the US tournament, his absence at the last Grand Slam of the year would be almost certain.
Nadal also renounced the Canadian Master, stopped by a discomfort in the abdomen that prompted the Majorcan to be cautious and which could lead him to stop until Flushing Meadows. Which remains at risk for Djokovic, who after not being allowed to enter Canada could also receive a refusal from the US authorities. Fans, colleagues and politicians, but the US administration is unlikely to make an exception to the anti-pandemic rules for former No. 1 in the world.
