Shnaider Chases a First Cincinnati Quarterfinal
Diana Shnaider registered a straight-set win over Maja Chwalinska in the third round in Cincinnati, 6-2, 7-6. She trailed 1-4 in the second set before fighting back to finish the match in straight sets.
This is her second Round of 16 appearance in Cincinnati. She previously reached this stage on her debut in 2024 but lost to Leylah Fernandez in straight sets. This time, she faces a much tougher opponent as she looks to reach her first quarterfinal here.
The Russian struggled for consistency earlier this year but rediscovered her best Grand Slam form by reaching the semifinal at the French Open.
She failed to build on that result during the grass swing, but has raised her level since the start of the North American swing, reaching the semifinal in Washington and the quarterfinal in Toronto.

Rybakina's WTA 1000 Record Faces Another Test
Elena Rybakina defeated Magdalena Frech in a tight match to reach the fourth round in Cincinnati, 6-4, 7-6. She trailed by a break in both sets but recovered quickly each time to close out the match in straight sets.
The Kazakh is now looking for a second consecutive quarterfinal appearance in Cincinnati and has a 2-2 record in Round of 16 matches here.
Before arriving this week, she was short on confidence and won only four matches across four tournaments from the French Open to Wimbledon. However, she showed signs of a resurgence in Toronto last week by reaching the final and has carried that form into Cincinnati.
She has played seven WTA 1000 events this year and reached at least the quarterfinals in five of them, and she will be looking to extend that strong record.
