Are you ready for the revitalized Cincinnati Open? The 2025 tennis tournament has grown to expand both singles draws from 56 to 96 players, and will now span two weeks on the newly renovated courts of Ohio's Lindner Family Tennis Center. Headed into this week's tournament, Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka — current world No. 1s — are the defending champs from 2024. Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the tournament to focus on the upcoming U.S. Open, but other big players, including Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz and Coco Gauff, will be on the court in Cincinnati this week.
The 2025 Cincinnati Open will air on the Tennis Channel, but the first few rounds will also air Tennis Channel 2 — which you can access for free on select platforms. The tournament officially begins August 7, 2025. Here's how to tune in.
