The 2025 revitalized Cincinnati Open has reached the quarterfinals. The newly expanded tennis tournament now stretches across two weeks and 96 players. But that number has quickly dwindled down to just the quarterfinalists. Today, Jannik Sinner faces Felix Auger-Aliassime, Terence Atmane and Holger Rune face off, and Ben Shelton plays Jiri Lehecka (in their fourth round match). Tomorrow, will see Andrey Rublev vs. Carlos Alcaraz, and Alexander Zverev vs. either Shelton or Lehecka. Plus, on the women's side, Coco Gauff graces the court in her quarterfinals match against Jasmine Paolini, Iga Swiatek plays Anna Kalinskaya and Aryna Sabalenka faces Elena Rybakina.
