If you look at the entry list published on Thursday, the participant fields are still impressive. In the men’s field, the two world number leaders Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev will lead the field. In addition to Stefanos Tsitsipas, Alexander Zverev and Andrey Rublev, the name Roger Federer also appears on the entry list. However, before the start of the tournament in Wimbledon, the Swiss had emphasized that he only wanted to decide on his start at the world’s largest sporting event after the performance in London. Andy Murray will be playing in Tokyo. From a German perspective, in addition to Zverev, Jan-Lennard Struff, Dominik Koepfer and Philipp Kohlschreiber are also registered for the individual.
