Which player was the No. 3 seed in the 2026 Cincinnati Open women’s singles draw?

Jessica Pegula was the No. 3 seed in the 2026 Cincinnati Open women’s singles draw.

Pegula converted that high seeding into a run to the final, where she faced fellow American Coco Gauff. Gauff won the championship match 6–2, 6–4, leaving Pegula as the tournament runner-up.

The draw featured 32 seeded players. All seeds received a bye into the second round, so Pegula did not have to play in the opening round of the 96-player singles field.

The Cincinnati Open is a WTA 1000 tournament held on outdoor hard courts in Mason, Ohio. Pegula’s finalist appearance made the 2026 women’s singles championship match an all-American contest.
