World number one Naomi Osaka and Wimbledon champion Simona Halep battled to three-set triumphs Wednesday at the ATP and WTA Cincinnati Masters while top seed Ashleigh Barty ousted Maria Sharapova.

Reigning US and Australian Open champion Osaka needed more than two hours to outlast Aliaksandra Sasnovich 7-6 , 2-6, 6-2.

Australia’s Barty, 23, won the battle of former number one players in just over 90 minutes. The reigning Roland Garros champion beat five-time Grand Slam winner Sharapova, who was Cincinnati champion in 2011, for the second time this season after a win at the Australian Open. The Romanian has finished runner-up in Cincinnati three times, last reaching the final a year ago against Kiki Bertens.

“But I didn’t have pain, which is good. It took time to get a rhythm and then do something on court.” Alexander Zverev, seeded seventh, remained winless in his Cincinnati career after losing 6-7 , 6-2, 6-4 to 19-year-old Serb Miomir Kecmanovic. The German struck an unbelievable 20 double-faults in defeat.
