Sabalenka Aims to Bounce Back in Cincinnati
Aryna Sabalenka suffered a disappointing loss in her recent campaign in Toronto, where she lost to Ekaterina Alexandrova in three sets in the fourth round.
The Belarusian had an extraordinary start to the year, reaching four consecutive finals and winning three of them, including the titles in Indian Wells and Miami and the final at the Australian Open.
However, since the start of the clay swing, her level has dropped and she has been unable to replicate her early-season form. She has not reached a final in her last six events, with five of those campaigns ending in or before the quarterfinals.
This is her eighth main-draw appearance in Cincinnati, and she cleared the first-round hurdle in six of her previous seven appearances, including winning the title in 2024.

Gibson Targets Another WTA 1000 Breakthrough
Talia Gibson reached the second round after defeating Lilli Tagger from a set down, 4-6, 6-1, 7-5. She trailed 0-3 in the deciding set before making a strong comeback to win the match.
The Australian has posted a confidence-boosting result by reaching the third round in Toronto after failing to win a main-draw match in 10 of her previous 12 events. She will now be looking to continue that momentum this week.
She has played three WTA 1000 events in North America this year and won at least two matches in all three, reaching the quarterfinals in Indian Wells and the Round of 16 in Miami. She will be looking to continue her success this week.
