Novak Djokovic was the reigning champion from when the tournament was last held in 2019, but did not participate.[2]

Following the third-round eliminations of Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas, respectively, a maiden Masters 1000 singles finalist from the bottom half of the draw was guaranteed; Berrettini went on to become that player.[3][4]
