World No. 1 Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will both skip the Cincinnati Masters, leaving the event without the top two players. Sinner withdrew due to a knee injury, while Alcaraz is recovering from a wrist issue. Neither has played since Wimbledon and April respectively, and no man has won the US Open after skipping both pre-tournaments since 1990.
