However, he will face stiff competition from Carlos Alcaraz, the US Open winner from last year, who currently holds the top spot in the world rankings.

Meanwhile, Elena Rybakina will aim to defend her title from last year but can expect a fierce challenge from Aryna Sabalenka, the Australian Open champion.
