MASON − After a soggy qualifying that featured several weather delays and two days of action-packed days of first-round action, the Round of 64 is here at the Cincinnati Open, beginning on Saturday, Aug. 15.
Some of the top stars in tennis will take the court at the Lindner Family Tennis Center on Saturday looking to advance to the Round of 32.
From the ATP, Novak Djokovic will play in his first Cincinnati Open since his thrilling run to his third career Rookwood Cup in 2023. Djokovic highlights the Center Court action during the day session while World No. 3 Alexander Zverev, another former Cincinnati Open champion, will play on Center Court in the night session.
On the WTA side, top-ranked American Jessica Pegula (No. 3) will start what she hopes to be another deep Cincinnati run. Pegula fell to Aryna Sablenka in the 2024 final. From a local perspective, Caty McNally will face Anna Kalinskaya on Tony Trabert Stadium 3 (day session) and Peyton Stearns matches up against Clara Tauson on Center Court (night session).
The full Order of Play for Saturday can be found here.
