Overview

  • Jannik Sinner quit the Cincinnati Masters final after 23 minutes while trailing 5-0, citing illness and apologizing to fans.
  • Carlos Alcaraz was awarded the title for his sixth trophy of the season and 22nd of his career, and he said he was sorry to win in that manner after consoling Sinner and writing “Sorry Jannik” on the camera.
  • Before the final Sinner had 11,480 ATP points to Alcaraz’s 9,590, and at the US Open Sinner must defend 2,000 points while Alcaraz has only 50 to defend.
  • Post-match calculations published by Italian media place Alcaraz narrowly ahead in the live race entering New York, 9,540 to 9,480, which sets up a pivotal ranking swing at the US Open.
  • In the women’s final Jasmine Paolini lost to Iga Swiatek 7-5, 6-4.
