At 19-years-old, McNally will be the second-youngest player in the field, behind 17-year-old Cori "Coco" Gauff. McNally and Gauff, known by "McCoco" on the doubles court, have won three titles together.
In 2018 juniors play, McNally was a runner-up at the French Open, losing to Gauff, and a quarterfinalist at Wimbledon.
The teenager will join a field stacked with five former Western & Southern Open winners and 13 Major champions.
