Jessica Bouzas lost the first set in her match against Aryna Sabalenka. The Belarusian defeated the Spanish player in the round of 16 of the WTA Cincinnati, where the Galician started off very cold but managed to push the world number one to the limit in the second set. Nevertheless, it wasn't enough, and Sabalenka advanced to the quarterfinals with a 6-1, 7-5 victory, awaiting Madison Keys or Elena Rybakina.

Following an endless storm in Ohio, Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Bouzas appeared on the Center Court of Cincinnati in a somewhat chilly and desolate atmosphere. Few spectators and scarce applause filled the court, seemingly affecting the Spanish player, who lost her serve in the second game allowing the world number one to quickly take a 3-0 lead.

The gap didn't close, and the Belarusian capitalized by breaking serve again to make it 4-0 in a match that was moving too fast for the Galician's liking. She had to step up her game if she didn't want to see the first set slip away in less than 20 minutes. Once she picked up her pace, one break was recovered, but it was short-lived as Sabalenka broke back. The first set ended in 26 minutes (6-1). Bouzas was being penalized for her numerous unforced errors, while Sabalenka looked very comfortable on the Cincinnati courts.

Despite the total dominance of the Belarusian, she became frustrated by even the smallest errors, even with the score in her favor. This was an opening for Bouzas, who sought longer rallies. However, her lack of effectiveness with the first serve prevented her from taking control of the points. She appeared more dangerous when returning serve than when serving.

It was very challenging to challenge the world number one, who was relentless in her pursuit of victory. Bouzas had a glimmer of hope when she recovered a break, leveling the score at 4-4.

Bouzas believed in herself too late.

The Galician started to believe that she could give the world number one a tough fight and, for the first time in the match, took the lead on the scoreboard. She even came within two points of winning the second set. However, Sabalenka not only withstood the pressure but also prevented Bouzas from mounting a comeback, breaking her serve to close out the match (6-1, 7-5), where the Spanish player displayed her tennis skills too late.

With this result, Bouzas says goodbye to the WTA Cincinnati but will travel to New York with her best ranking, 40th in the world, for the last Grand Slam of the season. Meanwhile, the world number one advances to the quarterfinals and awaits Madison Keys or Elena Rybakina.
