SENSATIONAL SCHEDULE

A terrific Thursday is on tap at the Western & Southern Open, with all Round of 16 singles matches scheduled.

Center Court will highlight the action with both of the world’s No. 1 players – Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic – playing during the day session.

The night session schedule will include six-time champion Roger Federer as well as five other singles matches featuring players who are still on court at 11:30 pm Wednesday.

Action is going late into the night following several bands of rain that totaled just over four hours in delays on Wednesday.

While the singles draws remain on schedule, three WTA doubles matches were suspended Wednesday. In addition, five doubles matches – three ATP, two WTA – were postponed.

Partial results from Wednesday and Thursday’s order of play follow the draws.

About the Western & Southern Open

The Western & Southern Open is held at the Lindner Family Tennis Center, 20 miles north of Cincinnati in Mason, Ohio. The tournament is one of the prestigious ATP Masters 1000 events on the men’s tour and a Premier 5 event for the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA), making it one of only five events in the world outside of the grand slams with events of that caliber occurring during the same week at the same venue. More than 67 million people watch the event worldwide. The tournament is also one of the last stops on the Emirates Airline US Open Series before the US Open in New York. Since 1974, the tournament has contributed more than $9 million directly to its beneficiaries: Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, the Barrett Cancer Center and Tennis for City Youth.

About the Emirates Airline US Open Series

Now in its 12th season, the Emirates Airline US Open Series continues to serve as a true regular season of hard court tennis, linking seven summer tournaments to the US Open. In 2014, Serena Williams won the US Open and Emirates Airline US Open Series women’s title for the second consecutive year, earning a record tennis paycheck of $4 million. Rafael Nadal (2013), Roger Federer (2007) and Kim Clijsters (2005) also accomplished the feat of winning the Emirates Airline US Open Series and US Open singles title within the same year.
