“OK, let’s go give some fans a surprise!” – Caroline Wozniacki 

“I’m excited to go and do this.” – Frances Tiafoe 

As some unsuspecting tennis fans boarded a shuttle on their way to the Cincinnati Open courts, Caroline Wozniacki and Frances Tiafoe prepared to give them a special memory as they waited for the riders in the back seat. The fun ride to the site included selfies, trivia questions and prizes. It will be a day those fans will never forget! 

“Now is the moment to keep going the same way.”  

Andrey Rublev, on being happy with his performance on the court. He wants to continue a streak of strong play after reaching the finals earlier this month at the Canadian Open (Montreal) and winning it all at the Citi Open (Washington DC) in July. His Round of 16 win on Friday over wildcard Brandon Nakashima moves him one step closer to the title.  

“It’s a good way back and hopefully it will not stop here.” 

Even though he has had momentary doubts after being sidelined with injury, Alexander Zverev is playing at the same high level he enjoyed pre-setback. Not only is he now world No. 4, he leads the tour with 51 match wins. Zverev is looking to repeat his Cincinnati Open performance from 2021 when he won it all.  

Whether you’re a tennis fan or an elite athlete, a visit to the Cincinnati Open is sure to bring special moments and memories to remember.  Stay tuned to find out more of what the players are saying.
