A Tournament to Remember: The 2026 Cincinnati Open by the Numbers

The 2026 Cincinnati Open was a tournament of big moments, big crowds and, apparently, a very big appetite.

Over 16 days, fans packed the campus in record numbers, the world’s best players delivered hundreds of matches and the Cincinnati Open made an impact that stretched well beyond the court.

Here’s a look back at one unforgettable tournament, by the numbers.

The Fans

The headline number was 300,288 fans, the highest total attendance in Cincinnati Open history.

Fans from all 50 states and 62 countries came to Mason for the tournament, with 57 percent traveling from outside the Cincinnati region. The Cincinnati Open also welcomed plenty of new faces, with 53 percent of ticket accounts created in 2026.

A record 63,161 ticket holders attended the tournament, up 8 percent from 2025.

And the attendance records didn’t stop there:

• 30,479 fans attended on Saturday, Aug. 15, setting a new single-day record
• 17,441 fans attended the day session on Saturday, Aug. 15, setting a new day-session record
• 13,533 fans attended the night session on Thursday, Aug. 13, setting a new night-session record

Not bad for 16 days of tennis.

The Tennis

The Cincinnati Open welcomed 344 players, who combined to play 322 matches, 734 sets and 7,841 games.

There were 96 third sets and 2,492 aces, giving fans plenty of drama from the first ball to the last. And American tennis had plenty to celebrate, with three of the four singles finalists representing the United States.

When it was all said and done, Arthur Fils claimed the men’s singles title, while Coco Gauff captured her second Cincinnati Open crown. In doubles, Orlando Luz and Rafael Matos won the men’s title, while Linda Noskova and Marie Bouzkova took home the women’s crown.

All that action required 5,850 tennis balls and 3,436 freshly strung racquets.

The Experience

Record-setting crowds work up an appetite.

Fans enjoyed 30,000 scoops of ice cream from Graeter’s, 14,062 Ben’s Soft Pretzels, 13,758 empanadas from Alfio’s and 12,176 slices of LaRosa’s pizza. They also raised a glass (or several) with more than 22,000 of the tournament’s official cocktail, the Dobel Tequila Ace Paloma, 19,528 cans of Cincy Light and 15,000 glasses of wine served during the tournament.

Meanwhile, the world’s best players fueled up with more than 2,000 pounds of salmon, 11,104 sushi rolls, over 7,000 smoothies and approximately 11,000 coffee drinks.

Around the grounds, there was plenty happening beyond the food and drink.

Approximately 466 hours of live music filled the Cincinnati Open campus, featuring 95 different performers and musical acts. More than 500 people laced up for the inaugural Cincinnati Open 5K, while fans got up close with their favorite players through more than 20 official autograph sessions.

And if you wanted to take a piece of the tournament home with you, the Cincinnati Open Shop was the place to be. Fans purchased approximately 23,000 hats, 8,000 towels, 7,000 oversized tennis balls and 6,000 dampeners.

The Community

The Cincinnati Open’s impact stretched well beyond the baseline.

Through Aces for Kids, the tournament’s 2,492 aces helped generate a $149,520 donation to Cincinnati Children’s.

Through Cincy Serves, 11 local changemakers were honored for the difference they make in the community, with a combined $58,300 donated to their causes.

The tournament also awarded two $10,000 scholarships to student-athletes from the Cincinnati Tennis Foundation, honoring the legacy of tennis legend and Cincinnati native Tony Trabert, whose name now graces Tony Trabert Stadium 3.

One last number before we go: 2027.

The Cincinnati Open returns Aug. 10-22, 2027. Save the dates. We’ll take care of the numbers.
