For Musetti, Rune and Nakashima, this will be the second time that they have qualified for the tournament after 2021 while it will be a debut appearance for the other five players in the field.

Former champions at the tournament include Chung Hyeon (2017), Stefanos Tsistipas (2018), Jannik Sinner (2019) and Carlos Alcaraz (2021). The tournament was not held in 2020 due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
