The 2025 WTA 1000 Cincinnati Open runs from August 7–17 with a supersized 96-player field—up from 56 last year—on the fast outdoor hard courts of the Lindner Family Tennis Center. As the final major stop before the US Open, it promises a stacked lineup of the WTA Tour’s best.
Sabalenka Returns to Defend Her Crown
World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka is back after a month-long absence, aiming to defend her Cincinnati title. She’ll be joined by 2023 champion Coco Gauff, four-time major winner Iga Swiatek, and fellow Top 10 contenders Jessica Pegula, Amanda Anisimova, Madison Keys, and Elena Rybakina.
Amanda Anisimova was the first to exit, falling to Anna Kalinskaya in the Round of 32.
Notable Absences but Surprise Entrants
Big names missing include Zheng Qinwen and Paula Badosa (injuries), plus Montreal finalist Naomi Osaka and champion Victoria Mboko, both sidelined after deep runs in Canada. Cincinnati still drew surprises—Venus Williams returned but fell to Spain’s in-form Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in the first round, while Caroline Garcia made her wildcard count and now faces Karolina Muchova in the round of 64.
American Hopes Run High
The U.S. boasts five of the top eight seeds—Gauff (No. 2), Pegula (No. 4), Anisimova (No. 5), Keys (No. 6), and Navarro (No. 8). Pegula, last year’s finalist, is eager for revenge after falling to Sabalenka in 2024. With home support and familiar courts, an American champion could be on the horizon.

Iga Swiatek dominated her 1-hour, 14-minute clash with Anastasia Potapova, winning 63% of total points and holding an imposing dominance ratio of 1.85. The world No.1 was nearly untouchable on serve, claiming 90% of her first-serve points and winning 8 of 9 service games, while breaking Potapova four times. Her return game was just as sharp, limiting the Russian to only 10% of first-serve points won on return. Swiatek’s consistency in pressure moments — taking 8 of 10 key points — sealed a commanding 12–5 edge in total games.

In a tightly contested two-hour, eight-minute battle, Madison Keys edged past Eva Lys by the slimmest of margins, winning 51% of the total points. Keys’ 12 aces proved decisive, giving her a stronger first-serve edge at 67% points won compared to Lys’ 59%. While Lys excelled on return, converting 42% of break chances and winning more return games (5 to 4), Keys balanced the scales with bigger service streaks, including a run of 10 straight points. Both players matched in double faults at six apiece, but Keys’ ability to save two match points underscored her resilience under pressure.
