The game starts in Cincinnati following a rainout

Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverev set to compete on Day 5

August 16, 2024

Play resumed at the Cincinnati Open on Friday after rain caused a one-hour, 20-minute delay.

Action began at 12:20 pm local time, with WTA star Iga Swiatek opening the match on center court against Marta Kostyuk. Carlos Alcaraz will resume his match against Gael Monfils following Swiatek. The Spaniard led the Frenchman 6-4, 6-6(1-3) when the match was canceled on Thursday night due to rain.

Number 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings Jannik Sinner will then face Jordan Thompson of Australia in the third round. If Alcaraz defeats Monfils, he is scheduled to face Holger Rune later on Friday afternoon.

Alexander Zverev opens proceedings at the P&G Grandstand against Pablo Carreno Busta, while Andrey Rublev, Casper Ruud and Ben Shelton are all set to compete at Stadium 3. Rublev takes on Brandon Nakashima, Ruud takes on Felix Auger-Aliassime and Shelton meets Fabian Marozsan.
