On what date were the singles finals played at the 2026 Cincinnati Open?

The story behind the answer

The singles finals at the 2026 Cincinnati Open were played on August 23, 2026.

The date was a scheduling change from the tournament’s traditional Monday singles-final arrangement. In 2026, both singles championships were placed on the closing Sunday, creating a single final day for the men’s and women’s singles events.

The men’s final featured Arthur Fils against Frances Tiafoe, while the women’s final matched Coco Gauff with Jessica Pegula. Gauff won the women’s title, and Fils claimed the men’s championship.

The wider 2026 tournament ran from August 13 through August 23, with qualifying beginning before the main draw. Cincinnati is positioned during the North American hard-court swing that leads into the US Open, so the event’s calendar placement makes its final date especially relevant to players preparing for the year’s last Grand Slam.
