The WTA Cincinnati Open continues to deliver exciting tennis action, with top players Coco Gauff, Jasmine Paolini, and Barbora Krejcikova booking their spots in the women’s singles fourth round. Fans at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason, Ohio, are witnessing intense matches as the tournament heats up.
Coco Gauff Progresses Without Playing a Match
World No. 2 and tournament second seed Coco Gauff secured her place in the fourth round without stepping onto the court. The 21-year-old American tennis star received a walkover in her third-round match after her Ukrainian opponent, Dayana Oleksandrivna Yastremska, withdrew due to injury.
Gauff, who has been in impressive form this season, will now face Lucia Bronzetti of Italy in the fourth round. The young American remains a strong favorite to go deep in the tournament, especially with the home crowd firmly behind her.
Jasmine Paolini Overcomes American Challenge
Italy’s Jasmine Paolini, ranked among the top women players, overcame a tough challenge from American Ashlyn Krueger in the third round. The 29-year-old Italian displayed her resilience in a thrilling encounter, winning in straight sets with a scoreline of 7-6 (7-2), 6-1.
Paolini’s sharp baseline play and ability to capitalize on crucial points proved decisive. She will now aim to maintain her momentum as she moves into the later stages of the competition.
Barbora Krejcikova Wins Hard-Fought Battle
Former French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova of the Czech Republic also punched her ticket to the fourth round after a gritty three-set win over American Eva Lys Jovic. The match was a rollercoaster, with Krejcikova taking the victory 4-6, 6-3, 6-2.
Her tactical variety and consistency under pressure helped her turn the match around after dropping the first set. Krejcikova’s all-court game makes her a dangerous opponent as the tournament progresses.
