  • Tournament organizers awarded a record $5 million champion’s prize as the event highlighted tennis’s growing commercial scale.
  • The final’s start was delayed about 30 minutes due to enhanced security measures tied to President Donald Trump’s presence in a sponsor suite.
  • Spain’s federation (RFET) announced Alcaraz withdrew from the upcoming Davis Cup tie against Denmark citing muscular and mental fatigue, as Rafael Nadal publicly congratulated him.
