Top seeds and players for the tournament
Top seed Andrey Rublev is seated among many of the crowd’s hometown favourites. Early rounds can be challenging because of potential matches against Stefan Kozlov and Maxime Cressy in the second and third rounds. The other two seeds in Rublev’s quarter, Denis Shapovalov and Holger Rune, may face off in the third round.
The best-ranked American, Taylor Fritz, is also in the top half of the draw. From people in his division like Karen Khachanov, Alex de Minaur, Jenson Brooksby, and Dan Evans, he can anticipate some fierce opposition.
Hubert Hurkacz and Reilly Opelka, a powerful serving pair, serve as the draw’s foundation for the bottom half. A quarterfinal matchup with either Frances Tiafoe or Botic van de Zandschlup may be in the American’s immediate future after facing fellow countryman Tommy Paul as early as the third round.
The way is equally uncertain for Hurkacz. The American must overcome a group that includes players like Andy Murray, Aslam Karatsev, and Grigor Dimitrov in order to advance to the last four.
