Seeds

The following are the seeded players. Seedings are based on ATP rankings as of October 25, 2021. Rank and points before are as of November 1, 2021.

Because the 2020 tournament was non-mandatory, players are defending points from that tournament only if they counted towards their 19 best results as of November 1, 2021. Points from the 2019 tournament were dropped on November 1, 2021, and are accordingly not shown separately in the table.

Points from the ATP Finals (the greater of the 2019 and 2020 editions) will also be dropped at the end of the tournament. These points will not be replaced by other results. [2] [3]
