Overview
- Zverev is set to face Lorenzo Sonego in the first round in the Night Session, with the match due to start no earlier than 01:00 CET on the early hours of Wednesday.
- He enters the tournament as the No. 1 seed because Jannik Sinner withdrew with an injury, though Zverev remains world No. 2 in the rankings.
