In the Cincinnati Open semi-final, Carlos Alcaraz defeated Alexander Zverev in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3, earning a place in the final. The match, however, was overshadowed by Zverev’s apparent physical issues. The No. 3 seed endured visible discomfort, raising questions about his ability to compete at the US Open. Alcaraz sent a supportive message to Zverev after the match, acknowledging his opponent’s difficulties. The final will pit Alcaraz against Jannik Sinner, creating another chapter in their compelling rivalry. Their mixed doubles plans at the US Open, with Alcaraz partnering with Emma Raducanu and Sinner with Emma Navarro, might be at risk due to their singles commitments.
