Открытый чемпионат Цинциннати установил рекорд посещаемости, собрав более 300 тысяч зрителей

The Cincinnati Open solidified itself as one of Warren County’s biggest draws, with more than 300,000 people visiting the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason Aug. 11-23. Total turnout reached a record 300,288 fans, beating last year’s previous high of 285,571. Last year was the first tournament to showcase the venue’s massive $260 million refurbishment and expansion. “We are very excited to have welcomed over 300,000 fans for the first time,” said Tournament Director Bob Moran. “We were focused on elevating the fan experience in 2026, adding elements such as Community Weekend, Finals Weekend and the Kroger Indoor Fan Zone. The response to those initiatives was fantastic and we look forward to continuing to grow the experience for our fans, players and partners in 2027.” In addition to the record overall attendance, this year’s Open set two records on Saturday, Aug. 15, for single-day attendance at 30,479, and day session attendance at 17,441. Both records were set in 2024. A fourth record was set on Thursday, Aug. 13, when 13,533 were in attendance for the night session, breaking a decade-old record of 12,572 from 2015. Warren County Commissioner Dave Young, who was a strong advocate of expanding the tennis center, said he’s not at all surprised by this year’s turnout. “When we put this deal together, we were betting on the fact it was going happen,” Young said. “I don’t think they’re done yet.” Young said there is room to expand parking, and tournament organizers plan to continue creating an environment offering more than just tennis. A 5K run, fan zone and concerts all debuted at this year’s Cincinnati Open, in addition to expanded dining and entertainment options. The Cincinnati Open brings an estimated $150 million in direct and indirect economic boost to the region, and helps attract visitors from around the world. The 300,000 visitors to this year’s Open came from all 50 states and 62 countries.
