Cincinnati Open 2025 Schedule Day 9: TV schedule, start time, order of play and live streaming details

The quarterfinal action will continue on Day 9 (Friday, August 15) of the Cincinnati Open 2025. All four women’s quarterfinal matches will be contested, with the world’s top three players leading the charge. Defending champion and World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka will take on familiar rival Elena Rybakina for a spot in the last four.

The last time they crossed paths, Sabalenka saved four match points during their quarterfinal showdown at the Berlin Tennis Open a couple of months ago. Home favorite and second seed Coco Gauff will face fellow top 10 player Jasmine Paolini, while third seed Iga Swiatek will lock horns with 28th seed Anna Kalinskaya.

Varvara Gracheva and Veronika Kudermetova will clash in the remaining quarterfinal. On the men’s side, Carlos Alcaraz will take on Andrey Rublev for a spot in the semifinals. Ben Shelton, who won the Canadian Open last week, will aim to keep his ongoing winning streak intact, though Alexander Zverev will have other thoughts.

Rohit

Rohit is a journalist at Sportskeeda who specializes in covering tennis. Having been with the company for three years, he has proven himself as a formidable force in the field. With a Master's degree in law, Rohit brings his analytical and research skills to the forefront as a journalist. He stays on top of the game by using social media platforms and never misses a match for on-court insights. He values giving credit where it's due, keeping his reporting fair and accurate.

At the outset of his career, Rohit found his niche in writing previews and SEO pieces and it's this expertise that continues to define his role at Sportskeeda. He is particularly proud of one article that garnered an impressive 750k views and surpassed his "wildest dreams." Rohit is not particularly fond of (GOAT) debates and it is one of the reasons why he left the legal world behind. He prefers to view players in "tiers," where they're all esteemed to an extent. However, if pressed to name favorites, he would choose Serena and Venus Williams. The Williams sisters' journey from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of tennis has been his greatest source of inspiration.

When he isn't busy making spot-on predictions about match outcomes, Rohit likes reading, particularly fantasy, sci-fi, and comics. As an X-Men fanatic, he's also passionate about board games and enjoys watching movies in his spare time. And don't be surprised if you catch him silently wishing to the tennis gods for the removal of ad scoring from doubles.
