Did you know the Cincinnati Open was once fueled by Applebee's? Discover the juicy details!

The Cincinnati Open is more than just a major tennis event; it’s a celebration of athleticism, community, and a little bit of nostalgia. Held annually at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason, the tournament will return for its 2024 edition from August 11 to 19. This tournament has been a staple for tennis lovers since 1979, showcasing some of the sport's biggest names while simultaneously serving up delectable bites right from the kitchen of the former neighborhood favorite, Applebee's. That’s right—this iconic American dining chain was the unofficial hangout where stars of the tournament once congregated to enjoy scrumptious food and lively conversation before or after hitting the courts.

It’s incredible to imagine, but Mason, Ohio, has a rich tapestry woven into its sports history. The connection between the Cincinnati Open and Applebee's highlights the vibrant culture that surrounds this amazing tennis tournament. With every service ace, and volley echoing through the Lindner Family Tennis Center, there were servers at Applebee’s, stealthily observing and sometimes serving their favorite tennis stars. It’s this community spirit that elevates the Cincinnati Open beyond just being a sporting event—it's a local tradition, a yearly reunion for tennis fans and players alike.

The tournament attracts not only premier tennis talent but also a host of enthusiastic fans who travel far and wide to catch the action. The 2024 event promises an exhilarating lineup with a full schedule of matches featuring both men's and women’s competitions. Players from all corners of the globe will flock to Mason, showcasing their skills and competing for glory in one of the most thrilling hard court championships leading up to the US Open. Given the events of the past few years, attendees can expect more than just tennis; local vendors, food trucks, and entertainment will be at every corner ensuring the atmosphere remains festive and lively.

As we gear up for this year’s event, let’s not forget the wonderfully quirky tidbits that make the Cincinnati Open unique. Did you know that Cincinnati was previously nicknamed ‘Porkopolis’ due to its extensive pork-packing industry in the 19th century? A fitting title, indeed, since the city has also served up influences in cuisine ranging from donuts to waffles. Additionally, the Cincinnati Open has seen its champions rise and fall, but noteworthy is that it first witnessed the legendary Arthur Ashe serve in 1970, setting the stage for a rich and storied tennis history. So whether you're a die-hard tennis fan or just someone looking for a good meal post-match, Mason is the go-to place this August!
