Cincinnati Open ATP 2026: Entry List, When is the draw confirmed, History and Prize Money
ATPWednesday, 05 August 2026 at 17:30
The 2026 Cincinnati Open is set to take place between 13-23 August on the ATP 1000 circuit with Carlos Alcaraz defending champion although he won't actually defend his title in Mason, Ohio.
Jannik Sinner is currently top seed albeit the hopes of him even being involved are very slim also. He has had to head back for tests in his home country of Italy so there are murky waters ahead perhaps. Alexander Zverev as a result would perhaps take on the role of defacto top seed alongside Felix Auger-Aliassime and Alex de Minaur as well as Ben Shelton. Novak Djokovic though is currently set to play in Cincinnati.
It is the last real test ahead of the US Open though with both ATP and WTA this week before stops in Winston-Salem and Cleveland the week before the main event. So one final test for the big tournament.

- Writer states: "These different brands have slight differences that the players need to get used to" That is the dumbest F-ing thing I've heard in quite some time. A sports fan (I assume a fan) telling the World's Top Players they are, essentially, full of shit.mandoist02-08-2026
- No Final today. 200% Humidity.mandoist02-08-2026
- Pro Sports is still pretending the Climate is not going to be a physical health factor -- getting hotter and more debilitating for animals and Humans. Well, it's not whether the climate is "going to" get hotter... IT IS ALREADY HERE!! Sport governing bodies and venues are -- and have been -- disregarding the warnings regarding the Future temperatures when it comes to outdoor events and potential injury (or even death) of fans & athletes alike. Are these financially greedy entities intentionally pretending Climate Change is not happening? Or merely gambling with their own futures, as well as the athletes' health and futures as well? It is time to pay attention to the warming trend and be empathetic toward their money-makers (athletes) -- not PATHETIC.mandoist29-07-2026
- CORRECTION Required: Jannik is WORLD NO. 1 and not 2. "The same can be said for Sinner and Djokovic. The """"World No.2""""" cited health reasons for not going, preserving his body for the Cincinnati Open ahead of the important US Open. If he was set to participate in both, it would be a lot of tennis with him likely to win both tournaments ahead of the trip to Flushing Meadows."J29-07-2026
