Cincinnati Masters

The Cincinnati Masters is an annual tennis tournament held in the Cincinnati suburb of Mason, Ohio, at a complex not far from the Kings Island theme park. The men's event was founded in 1899 and is today one of nine Tennis Masters Series tournaments on the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) tour. The women's event began in 1900, but was dropped in 1974 before being reinstated in 2004 as a tournament of the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) tour. The men's and women's events are currently played in separate weeks during the July-August period. The competition is played on outdoor hardcourts. Because of its sponsorship by the Western & Southern Financial Group, the official name of the tournament is currently the Western and Southern Financial Group Masters.
