The 2024 ATP and WTA Tours get back underway following the pulsating action at the 2024 Olympic Games, and one of the biggest non-grand slam events is next on the calendar. The 123rd Cincinnati Open is both an ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 event – one of a handful of such tournaments – and several of the world's best players have landed in Ohio.
Defending champion Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the 2024 tournament having recently won the first Olympic gold medal of his career, and thus the field is wide open in the men's competition. Jannik Sinner remains No. 1 seed ahead of French Open and Wimbledon winner Carlos Alcaraz, with Alexander Sverev, Daniil Medvedev, Hubert Hurkacz, Andrey Rublev, Casper Ruud, Grigor Dimitrov and Stefanos Tsitsipas closing out the top nine.
The top 17 women's seeds have seen one withdrawal from Ons Jabeur, with defending champion and US favourite Coco Gauff seeded at No. 2 behind world number one and French Open winner Iga Swiatek. Fellow American stars Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro are seeds No. 6 and No. 11 respectively, with Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina and Jasmine Paolini all in the top five.
