Cincinnati Open 2026

The 2026 Cincinnati Open ran 13 August – 23 August at the Lindner Family Tennis Center. This board is now the permanent record — every bracket, board and number below is frozen exactly where the tournament left it, and I re-derived all of it from the results before locking. No live scoring, no betting — just what happened, exact. The field decamped straight to Flushing Meadows — this was the US Open’s last hard-court tune-up, and its champions arrive there as storylines.

Suggestions?

Spot a mistake — a wrong score, a result that’s gone stale, a bracket that doesn’t look right? Or do you just have a better idea for this page? Either way, I’d rather hear it than not. Send me a line — a sentence is plenty, and I’ll take it from there.
