Borna Ćorić defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final, 7–6(7–0), 6–2 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2022 Cincinnati Masters. It was his first Masters 1000 title, and his first title overall since the 2018 Halle Open. Ranked No. 152 in the world and using a protected ranking for entry, Ćorić became the lowest ranked player to win a Masters event since the series' inception in 1990. He defeated five seeded players en route to the title.

Alexander Zverev was the reigning champion, but did not participate due to a long-term ankle injury.

Rafael Nadal and Daniil Medvedev were in contention for the ATP No. 1 ranking. Medvedev retained the top ranking after Nadal lost in the second round to Ćorić.
