How the 2026 Cincinnati Open Draw Works
The Cincinnati Open is a combined ATP and WTA 1000 event at a single site, with the men’s and women’s draws played side by side. Each singles draw has 96 players. The top 32 seeds receive first-round byes and enter in the second round, so the field narrows to a clean 32-player bracket within the first few days. That is why the printable draw on this page starts at the Round of 32 and runs through the quarterfinals, semifinals, and final. As the last 1000-level event before the US Open, Cincinnati is a key form guide for the season’s final Grand Slam.
Players and Seeds to Watch
Cincinnati traditionally draws nearly the full top of both tours as players sharpen their games for the US Open. With 1000 ranking points and US Open seeding on the line, expect the leading names to enter, and watch the seeded byes shape the Round of 32. Full seed lists and matchups are set when the draws are made, and we will update the bracket here.
