Ground Pass On Site: Cincinnati Open – Day 6
Let’s start the Day 6 recap with an apology. I have failed you.
I had grand ideas of doing a full-on mukbang while covering the food at the Cincinnati Open. But it’s been a long summer of traveling to tennis tournaments, and between trying to save on costs and also eat a little healthier to keep my energy up on site, it just didn’t happen.
That said, when it comes to food, the Cincinnati Open definitely gives you a taste of the local cuisine. If you want to try the delicacy that is Skyline chili, you can dive right in. And there are plenty of other options too, so you can always find something that works for you.
There are also water refill spots all around the grounds. I’d encourage you to bring a reusable water bottle to save on buying water, but if you want to grab something from the merch shop, a water bottle is the way to go. It even comes with ice that you can use while you’re here. I bought a white one last year, and this year they had a blue version—it took all my willpower not to get another.
Which brings me to the Merch Store, always a popular stop on site. Lines form early, and it feels like everyone has some piece of merch. If you’re going to buy one thing, I’d recommend the water bottle.
Player Interviews
The post-match interviews of the day were:
* Terence Atmane – After his win against João Fonseca. This is now part of a Meet the Player episode. Watch it below.
* Jessica Bouzas Maniero – After her win against Taylor Townsend. She’s had a really strong year and continues to solidify her position as Spain’s No. 2 woman.
* Holger Rune – Came through press. And discussed how he handled he heat on a particularly hot day.
* Emma Raducanu & Aryna Sabalenka – Their match was the Match of the Day. Both came through press afterward, and I’ll be making a Match Story about this one.
Emma
Aryna
* Taylor Fritz – Answered the important question: what’s the right technique for breaking a racket?
