Cincinnati round of sixteen heads a full day of tennis

Both tours reach the round of sixteen in Cincinnati, with the closest calls spread across the day.

Cincinnati owns the day. The ATP and WTA tours both play their round of sixteen at the same venue, with the singles matches running from early afternoon into the evening.

The ATP side includes the model's tournament favourite, A. Zverev, facing T. Paul. The WTA side has several near-even calls, among them Kostyuk against Andreeva and Noskova against Anisimova.

UK viewers can use Sky Sports Tennis, NOW or Sky Go. Australian viewers can turn to beIN SPORTS for the ATP and Stan Sport for the WTA, with beIN SPORTS CONNECT and Tennis TV also carrying parts of the day. Canadian viewers have TSN and TSN+, with RDS on the ATP side and TVA Sports on the WTA side.
