The initial entrants for next month’s tournament include each player in the Top 40 of the world rankings, including WTA No. 1 Iga Swiatek and ATP No. 1 Jannik Skinner, according to a press release.

“We are excited to welcome an elite field to compete for the Cincinnati Open title this August,” Beemok Sports & Entertainment President Bob Moran said in a statement. “There have been so many intriguing storylines throughout this season, which will certainly continue over the coming weeks through the Olympics and into the Cincinnati Open. We are hearing from players and fans alike how much they are looking forward to the tournament, and we cannot wait to open our doors to all for another exceptional event.”

Last summer, Djokovic, playing in his first event in the United States in two years, defeated Carlos Alcaraz for the Rookwood Cup in the longest match in tournament history (three hours, 49 minutes). On the WTA side, the “Summer of Coco” continued when Gauff beat Karolina Muchova in straight sets to become the first teenager in 14 years to win five career titles.
