The annual Cincinnati Open, aka the Western & Southern Open, is held in August at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason, Ohio. The WTA 1000 and the ATP Masters 1000 both take place during the same week, leading to a combined ATP and WTA event.
Founded in 1899, the Cincinnati Masters has a long history of showcasing the world’s best tennis players. As the year's final Grand Slam, the US Open, serves as a crucial warm-up.
It's particularly noteworthy that it is one of the few venues outside of Grand Slam tournaments to have a large number of permanent courts, including Center Court, Grandstand Court, Court 3 and Court 10.
