Claim Welcome Bonus🇷🇺 Veronika Kudermetova
World No. 4 Veronika Kudermetova has hence made her first WTA 1000 semifinal appearance since 2023. She stood 24–11 this year, with her consistency now restored. She started unsteady against Clara Tauson. She settled to down Magda Linette 6–4, 6–3, while disassembling Varvara Gracheva 6–1, 6–2 in the quarters. Her flat groundstrokes and accurate serves thrive on Cincinnati's low bounce, allowing her to dictate the rallies. Her composure has increased, and she has admitted being "mentally stronger" during press statements. The fans have even remarked on her focus and efficiency this week. If she continues serving the percentage of first serves that she is serving now, she should just about be able to extend her strong head-to-head advantage against Paolini.
🇮🇹 Jasmine Paolini
Jasmine Paolini, world No. 5, continues her brilliant 2025 realization with another deep run at a WTA 1000. Her record stands at 22–8, and the trademark resilience showed during Paolini's quarterfinal victory over Coco Gauff: 2–6, 6–4, 6–3. Before that, she spilled Maria Sakkari in three and took good care of Ashlyn Krueger. Paolini's forehand versatility and cardiovascular levels of exhausting movement have kept her opponents on top all season, with the Italian more happy in long rallies. The Italian fans have flooded social media with celebrations for her rags-to-riches story, while she credits the evolution to more self-belief and tactical changes. This is her deepest run in Cincinnati, so much patience with Kudermetova's pace will be required.
