DRAW WTA Cincinnati Open 2025 led by Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek in US Open pre-cursor

Here’s a detailed breakdown of the 2025 WTA Cincinnati Open Draw, spotlighting top seeds Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, and Iga Świątek as they gear up for the US Open.

Top Seeds & Draw Structure

The 2025 Cincinnati Open kicks off as a revamped WTA 1000 event with a 96-player singles draw held between August 7–18 on hard courts in Mason, Ohio — a critical stop before the US Open.

Leading the women’s field are:

1. No. 1 seed Aryna Sabalenka

2. No. 2 seed Coco Gauff

3. No. 3 seed Iga Świątek

4. Others in the top seeds include Jessica Pegula and Madison Keys.

Sabalenka’s Section (Top Half of Draw)

Aryna Sabalenka, the defending champion, has a first-round bye and will face the winner of Markéta Vondroušová vs. Jaqueline Cristian in the second round.

If she progresses, Sabalenka could meet Emma Raducanu in a thrilling third-round showdown — Raducanu has her own tough path, facing either Olga Danilović or Katie Boulter after her first-round bye.

Świątek’s Path

Iga Świątek, seeded third, also benefits from a first-round bye. She opens her campaign against Anastasia Potapova or a qualifier, with potential matches looming against Marta Kostyuk or Tatjana Maria.

Gauff’s Route

Coco Gauff, the second seed, is positioned in the bottom half of the draw. She also receives a bye and will face either Wang Xinyu or Emiliana Arango in the round of 64. A notable potential third-round match looms against Dayana Yastremska, who famously eliminated Gauff at Wimbledon.

Outlook: A Showdown of Giants

With Sabalenka, Gauff, and Świątek all within the top bracket, fortunes converge in anticipation of heated matchups — particularly as they fine-tune form ahead of the US Open. Sabalenka skipped the Canadian Open to focus her prep here, while Gauff and Świątek bring Grand Slam-winning pedigree into a stacked Cincinnati field.
