Cincinnati Open tennis tournament to return this weekend with new fan zones<\/p>\n

\"Brian<\/a>MASON, Ohio \u2014<\/p>\n

The Cincinnati Open, a tennis tradition dating back to 1899, is set to return this weekend, featuring the world\u2019s top tennis professionals and enhanced experiences for fans. <\/p>\n

The tournament has invested $260 million in upgrades, including expanded fan zones, multiple entertainment stages, and a new indoor fan zone. The indoor space, which is still under construction, will offer TV screens, a bar and a tennis court, providing fans with a place to escape the heat. <\/p>\n

\u201cAdding a lot more for the fans to do, but that fan experience in the Kroger fan zone is absolutely spectacular,\u201d Cincinnati Open Director Bob Moran said. <\/p>\n

This year\u2019s tournament also marks a special moment for Mason graduate Vignesh Gogineni, who will make his professional debut at the event. Gogineni, who once sat in the stands as a spectator, will now play in front of a home crowd, including friends and family. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m new to all of this, so I need to just not let that get in my head too much,\u201d Gogineni said. <\/p>\n

The Cincinnati Open continues its legacy as a proving ground for players and an event defined by tradition and endurance over its 127-year history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cincinnati Open tennis tournament to return this weekend with new fan zones MASON, Ohio \u2014 The Cincinnati Open,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":47768,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[17701,17697,2394,4576,17698,17696,3006,17700,16709,28,1081,13393,17699,17702,10586,2820],"class_list":["post-47767","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-bar","tag-cincinnati-open-tennis-tournament","tag-event","tag-experience","tag-gogineni","tag-new-fan-zone","tag-player","tag-proving-ground","tag-special-moment","tag-tennis","tag-tennis-court","tag-tennis-tradition","tag-top-tennis-professional","tag-tv-screen","tag-weekend","tag-year"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47767","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47767"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47767\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47768"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47767"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47767"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
