Alexander Zverev holds the strongest implied probability at 28.5% as the top seed and seven-time Masters 1000 champion with proven hard-court results, yet the Cincinnati Open field remains tightly contested due to the absence of Sinner and Alcaraz. Taylor Fritz sits at 16% after claiming the Washington title and benefiting from a favorable bottom-half draw, while rising Spaniard Rafael Jodar at 14.1% continues his strong form through early rounds. Multiple players including Auger-Aliassime, Fils, Mensik, and de Minaur occupy the 5–11% range, reflecting a balanced bracket where recent hard-court momentum, rest advantages, and potential quarterfinal clashes create realistic paths for several contenders to advance deep. Trader consensus prices this as an open event with no dominant favorite.
