Sabalenka defeated Jessica Pegula 6-3, 7-5 while Sinner beat American Frances Tiafoe 7-6 (4), 6-2
Jannik Sinner of Italy accepts the Rookwood Cup championship trophy after defeating Frances Tiafoe of the United States in the men’s singles final on day seven of the Cincinnati Open on Aug. 19, 2024.Top-ranked Jannik Sinner and women’s No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka earned straight-set victories in the finals of the Cincinnati Open on Monday, the first titles at the tournament for both players.
Tiafoe had a less conventional path to the final. He won the first set in the quarter-finals on Saturday before Hubert Hurkacz retired with a calf injury then saved two match points to defeat Holger Rune in three sets in the semis.Sabalenka moved up a spot to No. 2 in the rankings before the match, then didn’t lose a set en route to her 15th WTA title. She had never gotten past the semi-finals at Cincinnati, losing three times in that round.
“I would say that I’m really playing great tennis,” Sabalenka said. “Probably not the best tennis I can play but I’m definitely getting there. Hopefully at the US Open I can reach even higher levels.” “She was playing at a high level and never really came down,” Pegula said. “When she’s serving really well, it’s tough, especially on these fast courts.”
