The Western & Southern Open announced that they will be giving Nick Kyrgios, who was the runners-up at Wimbledon, a wildcard into the US Open tournament that will be held in Ohio, in early June.

The Australian will be making his sixth trip to Cincinnati and for the first time since 2019. Two weeks earlier, he lost in the Grand Slam singles final to Novak Djokovic.

Daniil Medvedev, the current world number 1, as well as Alexander Zverev (2021), the defending champion after missing Wimbledon due to injury, Grigor Dimitrov (2017), Marin Cilic (2016), and Rafa Nadal (2015), are all scheduled to compete in the Western & Southern Open, which will take place from August 13-21. (2013).

Novak Djokovic, a two-time winner, is also on the entry list for Cincinnati, but he is very unlikely to compete since he has refused to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

Visitors visiting the United States are required to provide immunisation records at the border.
