The tennis world turns its eyes to Mason, Ohio, for the high-octane spectacle of the Western & Southern Open.

The Tennis TV compilation “Amazing Shots You’ve Never Seen: Cincinnati Masters” documents the most extraordinary rallies and technical feats from the historic ATP Masters 1000 event. As the 2019 tournament runs from August 12–18 at the Lindner Family Tennis Center, the field is set for a week of high-speed hard-court action that serves as a vital indicator for the upcoming US Open.

• Roger Federer holds the tournament record with seven men’s singles titles, having won his first in 2005 and his seventh in 2015.
• Novak Djokovic enters as the defending champion after his 2018 victory over Federer, which made him the first player to complete the “Career Golden Masters” by winning all nine ATP Masters 1000 trophies.
• The tournament is the oldest professional tennis event in the United States still played in its original city, with roots dating back to 1899.

The Federer and Djokovic Rivalry in Ohio

The compilation showcases the sustained dominance of Roger Federer, whose technical prowess on the Cincinnati hard courts helped him claim seven championships over a decade. A centerpiece of the footage is his 2015 victory over Novak Djokovic, specifically his aggressive use of the “SABR”—the Sneak Attack By Roger—which helped propel him to a 7-6, 6-3 win.

Novak Djokovic defeated Roger Federer 6-4, 6-4, to become the first player to complete a career ‘Golden Masters’—winning all nine ATP Masters 1000 tournaments.

Federer and Djokovic lead a competitive field in 2019, carrying the momentum from their history at the event. While Federer’s seven titles define the middle era of the tournament, Djokovic’s historic run in 2018 firmly established him as the player to beat in the current climate of the tour.

High-Speed Technical Precision

The fast-paced nature of the Ohio hard courts rewards players who can adapt quickly to the summer heat and aggressive bounce. The footage emphasizes the technical variety required to survive the tournament’s modern era, ranging from no-look volleys and sliding defensive saves to baseline winners struck with extreme velocity.

These shots are not merely highlights; they are strategic necessities for navigating a draw that features the world’s best. Players like Andy Murray, a two-time winner in 2008 and 2011, and 2013 champion Rafael Nadal have historically used these high-precision weapons to neutralize opponents and dictate baseline rallies.

With the opening rounds now underway at the Lindner Family Tennis Center, all eyes are on how Federer and Djokovic manage the fast surface to secure a seeding advantage for the trip to Flushing Meadows.
