We’ve rounded up the full Cincinnati Masters 2021 schedule and Order of Play for Monday 16th August.
The Cincinnati Masters picks up steam today with the bulk of the first round for both the ATP and WTA tournaments.
British aces Andy Murray and Dan Evans are both in action today. Murray takes on French qualifier and seasoned veteran Richard Gasquet on Center Court.
Evans – who ranks at No.26 in the world – faces a tricky test against No.10 seed Diego Schwartzman in one of the matches of the day.
In the women’s game, No.9 seed Petra Kvitova and Madison Keys face off in a tantalising encounter while Maria Sakkari takes on Angelique Kerber.
Expect plenty more highly-charged encounters throughout the week as seeded stars approach each other, if they come through the early rounds unscathed, of course.
