The Cincinnati Revenge is Celebrated in New York
Although it may seem like the most logical thing in the world, this coincidence is not always fulfilled on the professional circuit. Three weeks ago, we saw Jessica Pegula and Aryna Sabalenka face each other in the final of the WTA 1000 Cincinnati, a title match that will repeat this Saturday in the final of the US Open. After all, it makes sense for the two best tennis players from the last event to be at the top again in the next, only to later be told that the WTA is upside down. The question is that this dèja-vu has only occurred four times in the Open Era when focusing on the women's circuit. Do you remember who the protagonists were and which players ended up lifting the trophies?
📊 For the 4th time since the beginning of the Open era, the US Open final will be a replay of the Cincinnati final:
