2025 ATP Cincinnati Open: What prize money & points are on offer? When is the draw?
The build-up to the US Open is hotting up, and the final big event before action in New York gets underway later this week.
One of the most prestigious events in tennis, the Cincinnati Open is the final Masters 1000 event before the last Grand Slam of 2025, and will be the final chance for many players to step up their preparations.
However, the event has huge status outright, with significant ranking points and prize money up for grabs in 2025.
Who is in action?
Unlike the Canadian Open, action in Cincinnati has not yet been hit by a massive number of big-name withdrawals.
Plenty of big stars are currently entered into the event, including the world’s top four of defending champion Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, and Taylor Fritz.
