The highly anticipated second-round match at the Cincinnati WTA 1000 tournament on August 9, 2025, features Iga Swiatek facing off against Anastasia Potapova. Fans in Canada can watch the match live on DAZN Canada, while viewers in the United States can stream it via the Tennis Channel App. Canadian viewers will also have access on TSN+. In the UK, the tournament is generally broadcasted by Sky Sports, though the provided schedule here specifies World Feed commentary for this match. For global fans, WTA TV offers streaming with the same World Feed commentary. The World Feed commentary, which will be heard across these channels, features Tim White as the main commentator, accompanied by Alexandra Dulgheru as co-commentator.

Alexandra Dulgheru, a former professional player from Romania with WTA titles to her name, brings expert analysis, especially from her experience on the WTA tour, enriching the broadcast with tactical insights and player perspectives. Iga Swiatek, the third seed at Cincinnati and reigning Wimbledon champion, secured a first-round bye and is returning to hard courts after some recent setbacks, including an unexpected loss at the Montreal tournament. Her form in 2025 on hard courts is strong with a win rate around 79%, making her a favourite for the tournament. Meanwhile, Anastasia Potapova successfully advanced by defeating Laura Siegemund in the first round and aims to extend her run by challenging Swiatek in this Round of 64 encounter. Swiatek holds a commanding record in their head-to-head history, having defeated Potapova at Roland Garros last year in straight sets. The Cincinnati Open is held at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason, Ohio, and is one of the key WTA 1000 events leading up to the US Open. The tournament boasts over $5 million in prize money this year and is known for its competitive field on hard court surfaces. ### Broadcast Summary: - DAZN Canada: Main and co-commentary via World Feed (Tim White and Alexandra Dulgheru) - Tennis Channel App (USA): World Feed commentary - TSN+: World Feed commentary - WTA TV: World Feed commentary ### About the Commentators: - Tim White: An established tennis commentator with years of experience in international tennis broadcasting.
