The Cincinnati Open final was set up to be an epic one on Monday, as world No. 1 Jannik Sinner faced No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz, the 13th head-to-head match between the two.
Unfortunately, Sinner was dealing with a illness from the prior day and the sweltering conditions on Monday did him no favors. After going down 5-0 in the opening set, Sinner retired.
“From yesterday, I didn’t feel great. I felt that I would improve during the match, but it came out worse. Super sorry to disappoint you. I tried to come out, trying to make it at least a small match, but I couldn’t handle more, so I’m very, very sorry for all of you.”
