Here, we take you through the Cincinnati Open men\u2019s singles entry list.<\/p>\n
Though the event has not suffered as many withdrawals as Toronto, there are still a few notable absences from the tournament.<\/p>\n
The highest-ranked player to withdraw is world No 5 Jack Draper, who will not be in action until the US Open after sustaining an injury at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, both Grigor Dimitrov and Hubert Hurkacz are out of Cincinnati amid potentially lengthy spells on the sidelines, with Alexander Bublik and Matteo Berrettini also withdrawing.<\/p>\n
Jenson Brooksby has also pulled out after initially receiving a wildcard into the event.<\/p>\n
And, it has now been confirmed that Novak Djokovic will again skip the event, focusing his efforts on the US Open.<\/p>\n
