Notes:

Isner the only Top 10er in the field but four additional from the Top 20…

The Top 4 seeds receive opening-round byes…

Not many floaters but tough starts for (6) Chung vs. Fritz in an all Next Gen and (2) Fognini vs. Daniel who always plays the Italian tough…

Wildcards were awarded to Chung and Swedes Elias and Mikael Ymer…

No Bryan brothers in the doubles but you have the Skupski and Ymer brothers…

Juan Martin del Potro is the two-time defending champion but is out indefinitely after injuring his knee last week in Shanghai…

No former champions are in the field.

RZ Says:

With DelPo likely to miss the year-end championships, Isner has a chance to qualify but needs to move ahead of Nishikori.


Margot Says:

YAY! Stephanos, first title, first of many!
YAY! KK. First title, first of many!
And possibly Kyle too, but in a 3rd against Gael, so possibly not.

RZ Says:

Good day for 1st time title winners Edmund and Tsitsipas. Bravo! The future is now.
