The world number one will ride a wave of momentum into next week’s US Open after winning his fifth ATP title of 2024.
Jannik Sinner has lifted his third ATP Masters trophy, defeating Frances Tiafoe 7-6 (7/4), 6-2 to win the Cincinnati Open.
The Italian warmed up for next week’s US Open in style, biding his time in a hard-fought first set before breaking the match open in the second.
Tiafoe, whose game faded after losing the first-set tiebreaker, still made an impression during Monday’s encounter.
The American, who moves into the ranking top-20, saved three match points before Sinner claimed his 15th ATP career title.
Sinner hit 29 winners, including 13 aces, and broke Tiafoe twice in the match.
