Lindsay Davenport suggested during her match commentary that the Cincinnati Open scheduling favored Iga Swiatek more than Elena Rybakina, and she did not find it fair.

Iga Swiatek had a moment with a cameraman during her Cincinnati Open semifinal versus Elena Rybakina as the Pole turned to the man in question and politely requested not to be recorded while changing her clothes.

A ryna Sabalenka will miss out on a showdown with Iga Swiatek at the Cincinnati Open after suffering a straight-sets defeat to Elena Rybakina in the quarterfinals.

Iga Swiatek acknowledges she prefers to play early even in challenging conditions, but suggests that certain adjustments could be done, like giving players "more time to breathe" when the conditions are extremely hot and humid.
