Watch Cincinnati Open 2025 live streams, as tennis’ best players descend on the Lindner Family Tennis Center for the biggest warm-up tournament ahead of the US Open later this month. The first round begins on Thursday, August 7 and runs through to the men’s and women’s finals on Monday, August 18.
If it’s a form guide you want in the build-up to Flushing Meadows, then this is the place to start. Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka won the Cincinnati Open 12 months and both went on to pick up the US Open titles.
Sinner will start as favorite again, especially after his triumph at Wimbledon last month. Cincinnati will be the Italian’s first tournament since SW19, while his final opponent at the All England, Carlos Alcaraz, is also returning to the court for the first time since. Home hopefuls Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton will be hoping to go deep, but Novak Djokovic has chose to miss out as he rests the injury he picked up against Sinner in the Wimbledon semifinals.
Sabalenka will also be favorite in the women’s event, but has demons to conquer. The Belarusian is level with Jessica Pegula on three WTA titles this year, from seven final appearances, but the 27-year-old has got increasingly tight at big moments and struggled to play her best game. She crumbled in the French Open final against Coco Gauff and fell apart against Amanda Anisimova in the Wimbledon semi, so will look to get back on the front foot.
Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek will fancy their chances, as the French Open and Wimbledon champions respectively, while Australian Open winner Madison Keys will have the home crowd behind her.
