Overview
- Jannik Sinner stopped while trailing 0-5 in the first set, telling officials he had felt unwell since the previous day.
- The result gives Carlos Alcaraz his 22nd career title, his sixth of 2025, and his eighth Masters 1000 trophy.
- Sinner’s retirement ends his 26‑match winning streak on hard courts less than a week before play begins in New York.
- Qualifier Térence Atmane’s breakout to the Cincinnati semi-finals brings a rise to roughly No. 69 in the rankings and about $332,160 in prize money.
- Despite that surge, Atmane has withdrawn from US Open qualifying with a foot injury after being slated to play because entry lists were set in mid-July.
