The highly-anticipated final at the Cincinnati Open came to a sad ending on Monday, as World No. 1 Jannik Sinner was forced to retire from the match against No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz while trailing 5-0 due to illness. With the result, Alcaraz wins his third Masters 1000 title of the season and his eighth overall in his storied young career.

The second spot in the 2025 Cincinnati Open men’s singles final is on the line Saturday night, as No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz battles No. 3 Alexander Zverev.

Carlos Alcaraz knows that he risked more than expected against Andrey Rublev in the quarterfinals of the 'Cincinnati Open', but he overcame the difficulties and qualified for the semifinals in Ohio also thanks to some gifts from the Russian player in the decisive moment of the challenge.
