Swiatek claims Cincinnati Open title with win over Jasmine Paolini 

Third-ranked Iga Swiatek captured her first Cincinnati Open title Monday night, defeating No. 7 Jasmine Paolini 7-5, 6-4.

Swiatek, who had never advanced past the semifinals in six previous Cincinnati appearances, reached the semifinals in both 2023 and 2024 but fell to eventual champions Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka. “It means a lot to me,” Swiatek said. “This year I really wanted it. I’m just very happy. It’s nice to check off the list another tournament that I haven’t won. I have friends here. It’s a nice, relaxed tournament before New York.”

Swiatek maintained her dominance over Paolini, extending her head-to-head record to 6-0, dropping only one set in their matchups. Paolini opened the first set with a 3-0 lead, but Swiatek rallied to take a 5-3 lead. Paolini broke back to tie at 5-5, yet Swiatek closed out the set in 56 minutes. In the second set, Swiatek’s eighth ace gave her a 5-3 advantage. Despite two breaks of serve from Paolini, Swiatek held to win her 24th career singles title.

“This season hasn’t been easy,” Swiatek said. “I’ve had areas to improve. It’s not easy to win tournaments when everyone is expecting you to.” She finished with nine aces to Paolini’s none, though she also committed seven double faults to Paolini’s two.

Paolini, the first Italian woman to reach a Cincinnati final, said the serves made the difference. “When the rallies were going, I felt good on the court,” she said. “The serves were the difference. When she needed an ace, she hit an ace.” Paolini, who qualified at Cincinnati in 2023, has since reached two Grand Slam singles finals, won a Grand Slam doubles title, and claimed an Olympic gold medal. “It was definitely a positive tournament for me,” she said. “It wasn’t enough, of course. I just need to improve.”

The Cincinnati Open serves as a key preparation for the U.S. Open, which begins Sunday in New York. In both the men’s and women’s tournaments over the past two years, the Cincinnati champions went on to win the year’s final Grand Slam. Earlier Monday, Carlos Alcaraz claimed the men’s title after Jannik Sinner retired due to illness during the first set.
