Carlos Alcaraz won the Cincinnati Open title in anticlimactic circumstances as rival Jannik Sinner retired due to illness just 23 minutes into the match.

Jannik Sinner was forced to retire from the Cincinnati Open final against Carlos Alcaraz due to an illness, forcing him to withdraw from the US Open mixed doubles as well.

Carlos Alcaraz will do everything he can to overtake his top rival Jannik Sinner and return to the top of the ATP rankings by the end of this season, which is why he is also giving his best at the Cincinnati Masters 1000 which precedes the US Open (scheduled in New York from August 24 to September 7).
