Aryna Sabalenka's Cincinnati Open title defense is over. The World No. 1 was eliminated by Elena Rybakina in the quarterfinals Aug. 15.

Iga Swiatek reached the final of the ATP-WTA Cincinnati Open for the first time on Sunday, surging past Elena Rybakina 7-5, 6-3 to book a title clash with Jasmine Paolini.

Pegula has won only two matches since Wimbledon. Due to an arm injury, Draper hasn’t even played one. Might the mixed be a fun way for these two top tenners to shake off a frustrating summer and get into the New York swing of things?

Twice down break point while two games from victory against world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina stepped up to serve. She had let victory slip through her fingers against Sabalenka two months earlier in Berlin, squandering four consecutive match points in a third-set tiebreak. She had suffered close losses from winning positions all year.

The coach of 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina has been cleared by the WTA Tour to return from his suspension for a potential breach of its code of conduct.

Iga Swiatek recovered from an early deficit to beat Elena Rybakina 7-5 6-3, while Jasmine Paolini overcame Veronika Kudermetova 6-3 6-7 (2) 6-3 to reach the Cincinnati final.

Mboko came from a set down to oust the 2022 Wimbledon champion in a three-setter that ebbed and flowed to the end.
