Overview
- Tournament organizers confirmed that Ignacio Buse is one of the seeds at the Cincinnati Masters and will start in the second round, avoiding a first‑round match.
- The ATP highlighted Buse’s intensive pre‑match preparation by posting a training video that showed him working through a rain delay.
- Buse’s exact opponent and match time remain undecided and are likely to be scheduled for August 15–16 against Adam Walton or a qualifier.
- Early Cincinnati results have shifted the draw: Thiago Tirante and Mariano Navone advanced to R2, Sebastián Báez rallied past Grigor Dimitrov to reach R2, and Román Burruchaga and Camilo Ugo Carabelli were knocked out in R1.
- Cincinnati offers one of the final chances to gain Masters 1000 points before the US Open, so Buse’s performance here could directly affect whether he enters Flushing Meadows as a seeded player.
