Day 8 of the Cincinnati Open 2024 will feature three championship rounds on Monday, August 19. The day will begin with the men's doubles final with the fourth-seeded pair of Mate Pavic and Marcelo Arevalo going up against home favorites Mackenzie McDonald and Alex Michelsen.
The American duo are into the biggest final of their careers and have already knocked out two experienced doubles teams. They won against third seeds Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury in the quarterfinals and the top-seeded duo of Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos in the semifinals.
The women's singles final will pit top-10 players Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula against each other. The former beat World No. 1 Iga Swiatek in the semifinals 6-3, 6-3, while the latter fought past Paula Badosa 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 to book her spot in the summit clash.
Pegula is currently on a nine-match winning streak, having won the Canadian Open last week. She's aiming to become the first woman to win the Cincinnati Open and the Canadian Open back-to-back. Sabalenka is gunning for her first title since winning the Australian Open this year.
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner's impressive season continues as he finds himself in his fifth final of the season. He earned a hard-fought 7-6 (9), 5-7, 7-6 (4) win over Alexander Zverev in the semifinals.
Sinner will take on Frances Tiafoe in the final. The latter saved two match points in the semifinals against Holger Rune as he staged a comeback to beat him 4-6, 6-1, 7-6 (4) to reach the biggest final of his career.
