Stars Showdown in Cincinnati Prelude to US Open
Opportunity abounds as the Cincinnati Open celebrates 127 years. World No. 1 Jannik Sinner and 2025 champion Carlos Alcaraz are both out nursing injuries. Alexander Zverev is the top seed, Felix Auger-Aliassime is seeded second, Novak Djokovic is the third seed and Daniil Medvedev is seeded fourth. On the women’s side, Iga Swiatek is defending Cincinnati champion. Jasmine Paolini, the 2025 finalist, is out recovering from injury. The Cincinnati tournament has come a long way from its humble roots, first played at the Avondale Athletic Club more than a century ago, to the grand-scale ATP Masters 1000 event held at the Lindner Family Tennis Center today. Past champions include such all-time greats as Ivan Lendl, Stefan Edberg, Pete Sampras, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. In 2018, Djokovic triumphed in Cincinnati to become the first player to win all nine ATP Masters 1000 crowns and complete the Career Golden Masters. World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka won the 2024 Cincinnati Open.
