Open.<\/p>\n<p>Gauff defeated Jessica Pegula in the final to claim the title, in a tournament which also saw her defeat Sara Bejlek, Marta Kostyuk, and Marie Bouzkova.<\/p>\n<p>It marks the second time Gauff has won the Cincinnati Open, after she claimed the title for the first time in her career during the 2023 season.<\/p>\n<p>With the victory, Gauff has firmly placed herself as one of the favourites to win the US Open, and for very good reason.<\/p>\n<p>The player who wins the Cincinnati Open has enjoyed a very good campaign at Flushing Meadows afterwards, so Gauff should be confident she can win the title.<\/p>\n<h2>More Coco Gauff news<\/h2>\n<p><a

tournaments in the same season, which only solidifies her position as a frontrunner at the New York event.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/caroline-garcia\">Carolina Garcia<\/a> won the Cincinnati Open and then reached the semi finals of the US Open, which marked her best-ever performance at a Grand Slam in her entire career.<\/p>\n<p>The only player to disappoint

career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think that this is an indicator that I\u2019m going to do well in New York or anything like that,\u201d she said in her post-match press conference after the Cincinnati Open final.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t really take that into consideration. But knowing the quality wins that I had (in Cincinnati), knowing that I\u2019m able to figure it out even if I\u2019m not playing my best.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso knowing that I can play the great tennis I felt I was playing this week and learning to be more aggressive in these points. Hopefully I can use the experience here in New York.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gauff has a strange record at the US Open, despite winning the title back in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>In her seven main draw appearances at Flushing Meadows, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/coco-gauff\">Gauff<\/a> has been knocked out in the third round of earlier on three occasions.<\/p>\n<p>In the past two seasons, she has been knocked out at the fourth round stage of her home Grand Slam.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How the last five WTA Cincinnati Open champions have performed at the US Open after Coco Gauff\u2019s win Liam McMillen 24 Aug 2026 9:00 PM Coco Gauff celebrates during her match Coco Gauff enjoyed the perfect US Open preparation by winning her first WTA Tour title of the 2026 season at the Cincinnati Open.
