The final of the Cincinnati tennis tournament, which often serves as an antipasto for the US Open, ended much sooner than expected. Carlos Alcaraz was declared the winner after his arch-rival, Janik Siner, retired a few minutes into the match.
Alcaraz started the match with momentum and was easily dominating the first set, going 5-0. At that moment, Siner sat on the bench and was surrounded by medical staff. There, the Italian tennis player could not hold back the tears, as he surrendered and declared his withdrawal from the final.
The reason was his health, as he reportedly had a fever throughout the last day and was unable to maintain the pace he needed in such a final. Alkaraz himself went to console his rival, with whom he undoubtedly has countless battles ahead in the years to come.
