The incredible speed increase of Cincinnati compared to the 2023 edition

These days, we are seeing an unusual speed at the Cincinnati tournament, something that the players competing there this week are confirming. In a graph shown by TennisTV, we could see how the CPI (Court Pace Index) shows the variation of the Grandstand (outdoor) court compared to the 2023 edition. Last year, it marked a 34.6, a medium-slow category, and this year it rises to a 42.5, which is a medium-fast category, very close to the fast category.

Zverev, among other players, has highlighted the existing speed this year and how the ball flies a lot when it moves through the air. Something that obviously benefits those who play in a very offensive way.
