The Cincinnati tournament suffers a significant last-minute drop

The world's best players are returning to action with the ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati 2025, but there will be significant absences once again. Just hours before the tournament began, French player Arthur Fils, currently ranked 21st in the world, announced that he will not be able to compete, opening up his spot in the draw for Arthur Cazaux, who advances directly to the second round with a bye in the first round due to Fils's former status as a seeded player.

Cincinnati update:
OUT: Fils
IN: Cazaux (LL, gets a first round bye, will play against Brooksby or Muller)
