Match recap, stats, and social media highlights from Aryna Sabalenka's win over Emma Raducanu in the 2025 Cincinnati Open.

The tournament is staged at the Lindner Family Tennis Center and is one of the 10 WTA 1000 events on the calendar. It is also considered the key tune-up before the US Open, where Raducanu won her shock grand slam title in 2021, and where Sabalenka is the reigning champion.

Sabalenka came from a break down in both sets to beat Raducanu 7-6 (6) 6-4 at the All England Club last month, saving a barrage of set points in the opener. So when the Cincinnati draw was made, everyone circled their potential round three rematch - and it delivered.
