Vukov had appealed his one-year ban for breaching the WTA Tour code of conduct ahead of this year's French Open.

Iga Swiatek outplayed Anna Kalinskaya to reach her third Cincinnati semifinal, where Elena Rybakina -- fresh off a straight-sets win over Aryna Sabalenka -- awaits.

Ten seeded players were in action during the Cincinnati Open quarterfinals Aug. 15. Here's how the action unfolded in Mason.

But Vukov refused to sit silently - and after appealing the WTA's ban - he won his case and rejoined Rybakina's team at the Cincinnati Open. And that is already having a positive impact on the Kazakh, who is through to the semifinal after ousting top seed Aryna Sabalenka 6-1 6-4.

The coach of 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina has been cleared by the WTA Tour to return from his suspension for a potential breach of its code of conduct.

Pegula was seeded behind Sabalenka and Rybakina in the Bacalar Group, yet she emerged as the undefeated winner to advance to the semifinals, while Sakkari, who lost her first two round-robin matches, has been eliminated. Coming in, much was made of Pegula’s inaugural WTA Finals, when she went 0-6 last year in Fort Worth in singles and doubles.

Chakvetadze, a former world No. 8, appeared on a podcast with former three-time Grand Slam finalist Safina. At one point during their conversation, the former Russian tennis star said that Ivanisevic privately told her he was surprised that Rybakina only had one Wimbledon title in her collection.

The latest WTA rankings brought good news for Elena Rybakina, Victoria Mboko, and Naomi Osaka, while Paula Badosa and Anna Bondar saw setbacks.
