Sloane Stephens defeated Sinja Kraus 7-5, 6-3 — Cincinnati Open 2026 R128.
Sloane Stephens and Sinja Kraus: Sloane Stephens leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
The qualifier came in as the betting market's pick, if narrowly at 54 percent, and finished 1 of 8 on break points with five double faults. Stephens, 33 and in the draw on a wild card, saved seven of the eight break points she faced and held nine of her ten service games. The opener didn't hinge on one swing: a break for 5-4, Kraus level again in game 10 for 5-5, then two more breaks to shut the set. The American opened the season at WTA No. 1,098; 1h 50m of work in Cincinnati buys her a second round against No. 27 Anastasia Potapova.
