Djokovic on hard courts three times, Federer on grass, and Nadal on clay. Zverev aims to reach 50 wins in a season for the fifth time in his career. He previously had 55 wins in 2023, 59 wins in 2021, 60 wins in 2018, and 57 wins in 2017. Despite previously having a winless record at the Cincinnati tournament, Zverev turned it around in 2021, going on a nine-match winning streak to win the title and reaching the semifinals in 2023, where he lost to Djokovic. On the other hand, Khachanov is currently ranked World No. 22, with a career-high ranking of No. 8 achieved in July 2019. He broke into the top 10 after ending the 2018 season ranked No. 11.

Khachanov ended this streak by defeating Tsitsipas en route to the semifinals at the 2023 Miami tournament, his first ATP Masters 1000 semifinal since 2019. He has reached the quarterfinals of all four Grand Slam events, with notable runs to the semifinals at the 2022 US Open and 2023 Australian Open.
