Rain suspends play at Cincinnati Open in Mason

Play at the Cincinnati Open in Mason, Ohio, was suspended on Saturday as rain moved across the Lindner Family Tennis Centre. The organisers announced the halt on X, urging fans to seek shelter. Several matches were affected, including Zeynep Sonmez versus Amanda Anisimova, Miomir Kecmanovic against Flavio Cobolli, and Alexandra Eala versus Elena-Gabriela Ruse, among others.

The delay adds to a difficult week for the tournament, where storms have repeatedly disrupted the schedule. Heavy rain earlier forced qualifying matches to be postponed, and severe weather in the wider Cincinnati region brought strong winds and flooding concerns. The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for Butler and Warren counties from Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning, warning of possible flash flooding. Much of the area remains under a slight risk of severe weather on Saturday, with damaging winds and flooding as the main threats.
