India, Aug. 19 -- Carlos Alcaraz has won the Cincinnati Open 2025 final, but indicated he wanted the game to play out differently. The Spaniard won after Jannik Sinner, his rival, had to retire from the game.

Sinner was down 5-0 and looking a shell of himself, though fans were anticipating a hotly fought contest after Alcaraz won the French Open and Sinner clinched Wimbledon. However, this was not to be, and Sinner soon spoke to the game umpire, communicating he was feeling ill.

A medical timeout followed, when a doctor and physio tended to Sinner. Despite their best attempts, Sinner could not make it back to court. The Spaniard was quick to show class, signing the camera, saying 'Sorry Jannik'.
