The tennis world was psyched to watch Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz go at it again after the former beat the latter in the Wimbledon Final.
But those spectating at the Cincinnati Open Final on Monday saw only five games played between the two men’s singles juggernauts, as Sinner retired from the match with an apparent illness.
Thus, Alcaraz went home with the trophy.
“I’m super, super sorry to disappoint you,” Sinner said to the crowd, as he stayed on the court for the trophy ceremony. “From yesterday, I didn’t feel great. I thought that I would improve during the night, but it came up worse.
“I tried to come out, tried to make it at least a small match. But I couldn’t handle more.”
