What is the Prize Money for the 2025 Cincinnati Open?

The second combined WTA and ATP event of the 1000 category of the North American hard-court swing, the Cincinnati Masters, started on August 7, while the final will be held on August 18. It follows the Canadian Open, where home favorite Victoria Mboko claimed her career’s first title by defeating four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka. In the men’s final, Ben Shelton battled past Karen Khachanov to win the biggest title of his career.

The Cincinnati Masters is the seventh ATP Masters 1000 and eighth WTA 1000 of the season. The matches will be held at the Lindner Family Tennis Center. For the first time, the Cincinnati event will be held for 12 days, as it, as well as the Canadian Open, have been extended from a seven-day to a 12-day tournament.

Several top players skipped the Canadian Open to focus more on recharging their batteries following the clay and grass swing. Among them were World No.1 Jannik Sinner, World No.2 Carlos Alcaraz, and women’s No.1 Aryna Sabalenka.

Sabalenka and Sinner will enter the tournament as the defending champions. Last year, the Belarusian defeated home favorite Jessica Pegula, while the Italian ace also denied Frances Tiafoe the title in front of his home crowd.

Alcaraz, who suffered an opening-round defeat last year, was the runner-up in 2023. Novak Djokovic came from a set down to deny him the title, but since that win, Djokovic hasn’t yet played in the tournament. The 24-time Grand Slam champion skipped it last year and withdrew from this year as well. And this only means Djokovic will be playing the US Open without enough match practice.
