The Cincinnati Open tennis tournament is set to return to Mason from August 11-19, 2024. This prestigious event has been held at the Lindner Family Tennis Center since 1979, attracting world-class athletes and fans from around the globe. As the excitement builds for this year’s tournament, many are wondering if any world-famous celebrities will be in attendance to cheer on their favorite players.
One celebrity who has been spotted at the Cincinnati Open in the past is none other than Canadian-American rapper and singer, Drake. In 2015, Drake was seen at Center Court wearing a bright orange Bengals T-shirt and was later spotted at a local restaurant with tennis legend Serena Williams. While Williams has since retired from the sport, there is a possibility that Drake may make a cameo appearance at the 2024 Cincinnati Open.
Another tennis icon who could potentially grace the tournament with her presence is Serena Williams herself. A two-time Cincinnati Open champion and 23-time Grand Slam winner, Williams retired from tennis after 27 years but has expressed her love for the sport and her difficulty in watching matches since giving birth to her daughters. However, the Cincinnati Open holds a special place in her heart, and she may decide to attend to support her fellow players.
Actor Zendaya, who recently starred in the romantic sports drama „Challengers,“ has also been linked to the Cincinnati Open. In the film, Zendaya’s character reunites with her love interest at the tournament, showcasing the event’s significance in the storyline. Zendaya’s newfound appreciation for tennis after filming the movie may lead her to attend the 2024 Cincinnati Open, following her recent appearances at Wimbledon and other tennis events.
Country music star Keith Urban and his wife, actor Nicole Kidman, are avid tennis fans who have been spotted at various matches, including the 2023 U.S. Open. With Urban performing at a music festival in West Chester just before the Cincinnati Open, it is possible that the couple may extend their stay to attend the tournament and enjoy some world-class tennis action.
Gavin Rossdale, lead singer of the rock band „Bush,“ is another celebrity who could make an appearance at the Cincinnati Open. A former junior tennis player in England, Rossdale has maintained his love for the sport and has even competed in celebrity tennis matches. With Bush scheduled to perform in Cincinnati around the same time as the tournament, Rossdale may take the opportunity to catch a match or two while in town.
Lastly, Ohio Senator JD Vance, the Republican nominee for vice president, could potentially attend the Cincinnati Open despite his busy campaign schedule. Originally from Middletown, Vance has ties to the region and may find time to support the tournament in Warren County.
As the 2024 Cincinnati Open approaches, the possibility of these celebrities attending the event adds an extra layer of excitement for fans and players alike. Whether they make an appearance or not, the tournament promises to deliver world-class tennis action and unforgettable moments for all in attendance.
