The 2025 Cincinnati Open final was set to be another exciting moment in the growing rivalry between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, two of tennis’ shining stars. Both players were really on fire heading into the championship match. Sinner, the reigning champion and world No. 1, has been on fire, breezing through the draw without losing a single set and stretching his hard-court winning streak to 26 matches. His semifinal win over Terence Atmane really showed how efficient he is, making it clear that he’s the one to beat going into the final.
Alcaraz, on the other hand, had been through some tough matches, like a hard-fought three-setter against Andrey Rublev and a straight-sets victory over Alexander Zverev. But his powerful shot-making and determination really helped him stay on course
