The following are the seeded players, based on ATP rankings as of March 7, 2022. Rank and points before are as of March 7, 2022.

As a result of pandemic-related adjustments to the ranking system and changes to the ATP Tour calendar in 2021, ranking points after the tournament (as of March 21, 2022) will be calculated as follows:

• Points from tournaments held duringthe weeks of March 8 and March 15, 2021 (Doha,Marseille,Santiago,Dubai andAcapulco) will be dropped at the end of the tournament and replaced by points from the 2022 Indian Wells tournament.
• Players who are not defending points from the tournaments listed above will have their 19th best result replaced by their points from the 2022 tournament.
• Points from the2021 tournament will not drop until October 17, 2022 (52 weeks after the 2021 tournament) and are accordingly not reflected in this table.^[9]
• The other half of the remaining points from the2019 tournament will be dropped on March 21, 2022, around three years after the end of the 2019 tournament.
