It was the 103rd edition of the Cincinnati Masters, and was part of the ATP Masters Series of the 2004 ATP Tour, and of the Tier III Series of the 2004 WTA Tour. Both the men's and the women's events took place at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason, near Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. It was the first Cincinnati event to feature both men and women's draws since 1989.
