    Western & Southern Open Defending Champions Headline Doubles Fields CINCINNATI (Aug. 11, 2020) – Both the women’s and men’s defending champions are among the initial entries to play doubles at the 2020 Western & Southern Open, which will be held Aug. 20-28 at the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center in New York.

Other notable entries on the women’s side include the teenage pairing of Cincinnati’s 18-year-old Caty McNally and 16-year-old Coco Gauff. Dubbed “McCoco,” the duo won a pair of WTA titles in 2019 – at Washington, D.C. and Luxembourg – and reached the US Open Round of 16. Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka, who finished 2019 atop the WTA Porsche Race to Shenzen as the season’s No. 1 team, are also in the field. Reigning Australian Open singles champion Sofia Kenin, a 21-year- old American, has entered with former Western & Southern Open singles and doubles winner Victoria Azarenka. The top two teams in the ATP Tour doubles race are entered in the men’s draw. The No. 1 team of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah is returning after reaching two straight Western & Southern Open finals.

Eine einzigartige Karriere ist zu Ende – nach 114 Titeln und 1283 Partien im Profizirkus 9 771424 925002 WARM-UP Herzlichsten Dank, Martina und Marco! Liebe Leserin, lieber Leser Abschied ist ein bisschen wie sterben. So kitschig dieser Satz ist, so realitätsnah ist er doch auch. So war es auch im letzten Oktoberdrittel, als innert weniger Tage Marco Chiudinelli und Martina Hingis ihren Rücktritt bekannt gaben. Viele waren traurig, auch Roger Federer, hörte doch sein Jugendfreund und Partner unzähliger Schlachten auf den Trainings- und Turniercourts, am Gameboy und auf Fussballplätzen auf sowie die zehn Monate ältere Ostschweizerin, die ihn, den «Luftibus», wie er selber in diesem Maga- zin sagt, animierte, professioneller zu werden. Und auch ich verdrückte die eine oder andere Träne, als ich beim sportlichen Farewell der beiden zwischen Allschwil, Basler St. Jakobshalle und Singapur einige Tennishallen und Flugmeilen sammelte. Chiudinelli wird mir in Erinnerung bleiben als «Schweizer Nummer 1 der Normalsterb- lichen», als Stehaufmann, der immer gewinnen wollte, auch wenn die Ausgangslage noch so stark gegen ihn sprach und als eloquenter Gesprächspartner, aber auch als einer, der es schaffte, an einer Kinderpressekonferenz die Frage eines Sechsjährigen so herun- ter zu brechen, dass der Dreikäsehoch die Antwort hundertprozentig verstand. Und Martina Hingis hat mich begleitet, seit ich Tennis denke. Ich war bei ihrem ersten Profiturnier in Langenthal im Oktober 1993 dabei, als Fan, ebenfalls ein Jahr später bei ihrem WTA-Debüt in der Saalsporthalle.
