Here’s a detailed breakdown of the 2025 WTA Cincinnati Open Draw

The stage is set in Mason, Ohio, as the 2025 WTA Cincinnati Open kicks off from August 7 to 18, serving as a crucial warm-up for the US Open. This year’s draw features tennis powerhouses Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, and Iga Świątek — all eyeing momentum before the final Grand Slam of the season.

🔝 Top Seeds & Format

The WTA 1000 event boasts a 96-player singles draw with top-tier talent in every section. Leading the charge:

• No. 1 Seed: Aryna Sabalenka

• No. 2 Seed: Coco Gauff

• No. 3 Seed: Iga Świątek

• Other top seeds: Jessica Pegula, Madison Keys

All top seeds begin with first-round byes and are poised for deep runs — if they can survive tricky early matchups.

🔥 Sabalenka’s Road to Repeat

Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka starts in the top half of the draw. She awaits the winner of Markéta Vondroušová vs. Jaqueline Cristian in the second round.

But eyes are on a potential blockbuster third-round clash with Emma Raducanu, who must first get past either Olga Danilović or Katie Boulter.

Sabalenka, who skipped the Canadian Open, is clearly focused on peaking here — and defending her title.

🌪️ Świątek’s Silent Hunt for Momentum

World No. 3 Iga Świątek begins her Cincinnati journey with a bye and could face Anastasia Potapova or a qualifier in Round 2.
Beyond that, the Polish star may square off with Marta Kostyuk or Tatjana Maria — both capable of testing her hardcourt form.

Świątek has been vocal about fine-tuning her game before New York, and Cincinnati could provide the perfect launchpad.

🇺🇸 Gauff’s American Charge

Coco Gauff, the pride of the U.S., leads the bottom half of the draw. She opens against Wang Xinyu or Emiliana Arango.
If she advances, fans could witness a high-stakes third-round showdown against Dayana Yastremska — the very player who knocked Gauff out at Wimbledon.

With her home crowd behind her, Gauff will be aiming for redemption and rhythm.

💥 Final Thoughts: Heavyweight Collision Course?

With all three stars in strong form and placed strategically across the draw, tennis fans could be in for a Cincinnati classic.
The pressure is on, the stakes are high, and the US Open looms large — but first, these champions must battle through Ohio.
