Coco Gauff and Marie Bouzkova are scheduled to face one another in the Opening round of the 2022 Cincinnati Open on Tuesday, August 16.
Coco Gauff, the newly crowned doubles No. 1, will be one of the players to watch in the Cincinnati Open. The 18-year-old has a 30-15 singles record in 2022 after winning her first two WTA 1000 titles in Dubai and Canada, as well as reaching her second major final in doubles at the French Open. Gauff reached her first Grand Slam final in singles at the French Open. She reached the semifinals in Berlin and Adelaide-2, and she has also reached the quarterfinals in San Jose and Toronto. She defeated Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina and sixth seed Aryna Sabalenka at the Canadian Open last week before falling to Simona Halep.
Marie Bouzkova, a Czech qualifier who beat Donna Vekic in straight sets on Sunday, will face Gauff. Bouzkova, who defeated Serbia’s Aleksandra Kruni 6-1, 6-2 in the first qualifier, needed an hour and 36 minutes to defeat the Croatian 6-1, 6-4. The world No. 46 has had a fantastic year, reaching her first Grand Slam quarterfinal in Wimbledon and winning her first WTA title in Prague by defeating Anastasia Potapova in the final. Bouzkova has yet to have the same impact in the North American hardcourt swing. She qualified for Toronto as well, but lost in three sets to Elena Rybakina.
Coco Gauff and Marie Bouzkova are scheduled to face one another in the Opening round of the 2022 Cincinnati Open on Tuesday, August 16. The tournament is scheduled to run from August 14 till August 21.
The 2022 Cincinnati Open will see six rounds of action excluding the qualifiers. These include the round of 64, round of 32, round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final for both men’s and women’s. The tournament is scheduled to commence on August 14 and conclude on August 21 this year.
