Cincinnati Open, 2025

• The Cincinnati Open was held from 5 August to 18 August 2025 at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason, Ohio, USA, and expanded from 16 to 24 sessions.
• This tournament marked the 124th men’s edition and the 97th women’s edition of the Cincinnati Open.
• Its name, the Lindner Family Tennis Center, pays tribute to the family of the late Cincinnati financier Carl Lindner Jr., a former tournament sponsor, rather than highlighting a more glamorous local feature such as the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
