The world of tennis was excited to see Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz do it again after the first beat the second in the Wimbledon final.
But those who have spent in the Cincinnati Open final on Monday saw only five games played between the two male singles, when Sinner retired from the game with an apparent disease.
Therefore, Alcaraz went home with the trophy.

“I am very, super lament to disappoint you,” Sinner told the crowd, while remained on the court for the trophy ceremony. “Yesterday, I didn’t feel great. I thought I would improve during the night, but it emerged worse.
“I tried to go out, I tried to make at least one little couple. But I couldn’t stand more.”

Sinner never revealed what he was trying exactly, but he never looked like himself during the game. Alcaraz took full advantage of a 5-0 advantage in the first set.
After the fifth game, Sinner asked for a coach. He didn’t spend much time until Sinner told the Umpir that he needed to retire, which was announced throughout the stadium.
However, Alcaraz was as respectful as it could be in this incipient rivalry among the best players in the game. He quickly ran to console Sinner, and when he signed a camera lens on the court, he wrote: “Sorry Jannik.”

The question now is whether Sinner will be healthy enough for the United States Open, with the first round from next week in Queens, New York.
Sinner is the defender of the United States Open, and after winning in Wimbledon and the Australian Open, many were linking to be repeated at Arthur Ashe Stadium this August.
However, Alcaraz has a title of US open to his credit after winning everything in 2022, marking his first Grand Slam title and being named the world’s number one player in the world in the history of the ATP.

He also defeated Sinner in an exciting end of the 2025 France Open that went to a five -set racing.
