Don't ask her why or how, but one of the most iconic tennis players has returned to Cincinnati (and she loves it).
Serena Williams, an iconic tennis player with over 29 Grand Slam titles, has returned to Cincinnati for the 2026 Cincinnati Open. This marks her first appearance in the Queen City since 2022. Following her appearance, Serena and her sister Venus will compete as doubles partners in a historic first for the Cincinnati Open. Venus has also earned a singles wild card for the tournament.
Serena expressed her love for the city, saying, "It's like it's always one of my favorite stops on tour." The Williams sisters will face off against Peyton Stearns and Marta Kostyuk in the round-two doubles match on Monday, Aug. 17, at the Lindner Family Tennis Center.
