Close

The fourth-round loss of Cameron Norrie guaranteed a first-time Masters 1000 finalist from the bottom half of the draw.^[3]^[4] Nakashima emerged to become that player.

This marked the first ATP Tour tournament in which all eight quarterfinalists were born in the 2000s, and the first Masters event since the 2007 Paris Masters in which all eight quarterfinalists were aged 25 or under.^[5] It also marked the first all-American Masters 1000 final since the 2003 Cincinnati Open.^[6]
