Barty, Zverev win at Western & Southern Open

MASON, Ohio (AP) — Ash Barty bounced back from a disappointing loss at the Olympics while gold medalist Alexander Zverev carried over his momentum from Tokyo.

Both are in fine form heading into the U.S. Open, which begins a week from Monday in New York.

The top-ranked Barty won her fifth title of the season, taking eight of the last nine games from wild card Jil Teichmann for a straight-sets victory in the Western & Southern Open final.

Zverev, too, had a relatively easy time in the Cincinnati final.

He won the first four games over Andrey Rublev and finished off the seventh-ranked player in 58 minutes.
