Cincinnati Open 2026 WTA Draw & Bracket

Main Draw

The Cincinnati Open 2026 WTA draw features 96 players competing across seven rounds from the opening round through to the women’s singles final.

The 32 seeded players receive first-round byes and enter the tournament in the second round. A seeded player therefore needs six victories to win the title, while an unseeded player starting in the first round would need seven.

The official draw was released on August 11, with Aryna Sabalenka confirmed as the No. 1 seed and Elena Rybakina as the No. 2 seed. Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff complete the top four.
