- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Carlos Alcaraz has withdrawn from the Cincinnati Masters 1000 tournament due to a lingering right wrist injury. The 23 year old Spaniard is the defending champion of the event, which is scheduled to take place from August 13 to August 23. This marks a continued absence for Alcaraz, who has not competed since April 17 after withdrawing from the Barcelona Open. Tournament director Bob Moran stated that Alcaraz is doing everything possible to return to competition and wished him the best in his recovery.
Alcaraz has missed several major events this year, including the Masters 1000 tournaments in Madrid and Rome, as well as the Grand Slams at Roland Garros and Wimbledon. While he has been seen training in Murcia, Spain, his withdrawal from Cincinnati increases uncertainty regarding his participation in the US Open. Alcaraz is the defending champion of the US Open, which begins on August 30 in New York.
Reports from center lean outlets focus on the timeline of his recovery and the impact on his preparation for the US Open. Center right lean outlets provide more technical detail, noting the specific diagnosis of De Quervain tenosynovitis and mentioning that he recently regained the number two ranking despite his inactivity.
