oop for Saturday - h ttps://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/cincinnati/422/daily-schedule

Emma playing 3rd on Champions Court (first match 4 pm)

Emma's match is estimated to start around 8.45 pm after the Tsitsipas match which is half way through the second set (7-6 4-2). But if that goes to 3 sets Emma will be playing quite a bit later.

Tsitsipas won so Emma on soon. :)

Emma takes the first set 6-3.

... and the 2nd set 6'2 so a decent win to take her into the Round of 16.
Where she'll face the winner of [1] Sabalenka v Vondrousova

Emma won 6-3 6-2 :clap: :clap:. Will play the winner of Sabalenka and Vondrousova next.

Good for Emma, a fairly comfortable win-well done! Likely very tough in the next round mind you, it will be Sabalenka.

in the men's event both Musetti and Ruud are out, Bonzi beating the Italian 5-7,6-4 7-6 and Rinderknech getting the better of Ruud 6-7,6-4,6-2.

Emma vs Sabalenka 2nd match on Centre on Monday (first match starts at 4 pm).

oop for Monday - h ttps://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/cincinnati/422/daily-schedule?day=7

Raducanu v Sabalenka is now in progress.
Lots of service breaks so far in Set 1 with Emma serving first.
*1-0, 2-0*LS, *LS2-1, 2-2*, *LS2-3, 2-4*, *3-4, 4-4LS*

It went to a tie-break and Aryna took it 7'6(3). Very tight match, just 3 points difference in Set 1.
2-2 in Set 2.

1 set all ... and 1 game all in the 3rd set.

Emma certainly doing well in fighting back, hopefully can keep pressure on!

Tie break to decide it...

Sabalenka wins.

Very close match. Emma 125 points and Aryna 122 who clearly won them at the right time in the right order.

A pity but very tight and Emma closer than at Wimbledon, a contrast too with her loss to Anisimova in Montreal.

A good try. We can't be too disappointed as it was so close.

Another sinner/Alcaraz final in Cincinnatti, Jannik ended the run of qualifier Terence Atmane 7-6,6-2 (Atame had big wins over Fritz and Rune) and carlos got past an ailing Zverev 6-4,6-3. It was also Sinner's 24th Birthday on the day of the semis.
unfortunately Cash/Glasspool lost in 2 Breakers to Mektic/Ram,Salisbury/Skupski narrowingly missing out losing 4-6,6-3, 13-11 to Musetti/Sonego in their respective semis.

women's finalists will be decided today,Swiatek takes on Rybakina(who beat Sabalenka 6-1,6-4 in quarters) and Paoliini (who upset Coco Gauff ) faces Kudermetova.

Alcaraz takes the Cincy title (and hideous trophy!) after Sinner retired with illness.

The Ladies Final between Swiatek and Paolini is scheduled for 11pm UK time.

yes certainly a disappointment but could not helped, at least Sinner took to the court and hopefully does not take too long to recover. Still Alcaraz had found some impressive form in the tournament and it will be good preperation for the Us Open (even if circumstances not ideal).

Swiatek has just beaten Paolini 7-5,6-4 to take the title,well done and another boost!

Tournament felt like a bit of a damp squib with the various walkovers. Something for the ATP to note in a packed schedule? Toronto felt the same with the absence of the top names.

Toronto often has the absence of the top players but Cinci usually has the top names. Looks like there was a bad bug going round this year at Cinci.

Think there must have been Cazza but strange how it affected Alcaraz's last 2 opponents:lol:
