While the semi-finals of the Canadian Masters are in full swing, the Cincinnati Masters, another Masters tournament that will follow this week, has also announced the draw. Let's take a sneak peek.

The biggest suspense has been revealed! Djokovic, who just won the Olympic men's singles gold medal, will not go to Cincinnati as the defending champion. The Serbian king is likely to go to this year's US Open without warming up.

Sinner, who has already stopped in the quarterfinals of the Canadian Masters, will continue to go as the top seed. He leads the quarter-finals, and the top seeded player against him happens to be Rublev. Other seeded players in the quarter include Fritz, Embel, and Grikspur. Chinese player Zhang Zhizhen is expected to face Rublev in the second round.

The quarter-finals are led by Zverev, and other seeded players include Dimitrov, Shelton and Korda. Other good players such as Khachanov, Echeverri, Analdi, and Serendro are also divided into this area. Of course, Busta and Opelka, who have achieved excellent results in the North American Autumn Masters in the past but have just returned, are also in the spotlight.

Three quarters of the zone is led by former champion Mei. Cincinnati is also the first Masters he conquered. As early as 2019, he defeated Goffin in the final to win the championship. Other seeded players include Olympic singles bronze medalist Musetti and players Paul and Hurkacz; well-known players include Nori, Lavone, Jarry, Tabino, etc. It is worth mentioning that Czech No. 1 Lechka, who missed Wimbledon due to injury and indirectly made Chinese player Zhang Zhizhen a seeded player, finally returned after a period of recuperation.

The last zone is led by last year's runner-up Alcaraz. In the just-concluded Olympics, Aka won the silver medal and shed tears after the game. It can be seen that the young man is still not used to losing in the final. Especially the Olympic Games held every four years! But I believe he will adjust his condition as soon as possible! Akar is expected to meet Monfils again in the second round. There will be no shortage of good shots in the competition between the old and the young on the court.

Other seeded players in the region include Ruud, Tsitsipas and Rune, who withdrew from the quarter-finals of the Canadian Masters due to injury. There were two focus dialogues in the first round, namely Tsitsipas vs. Struff and Berrettini vs. Rune.

I still remember the final of the Cincinnati Masters last year. When Djokovic and Akar went through three tiebreaks to decide the winner, the fans were very satisfied. Djokovic also tore his jersey after winning the game and let out a sigh of relief. This game was definitely the best of last year's tour. So what kind of script will this year's game present?
