Greatest final in ATP Masters 1000 history? Reflecting on Djokovic vs. Alcaraz Cincy epic

No one will forget the 2023 Cincinnati Open championship match in a hurry.

A humdinger played out between the world’s two best players in stifling Ohio heat, the three-hour, 49-minute clash between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz was one of the greatest matches in ATP Masters 1000 history. Physical and mental resilience from both players, consistent shotmaking of the highest quality, and Djokovic battling back from championship point down to clinch the trophy were among the features that ensured the encounter instantly achieved classic status.

“Crazy. Honestly, I don’t know what else I can say,” reflected Djokovic after his 5-7, 7-6(7), 7-6(4) victory at the Lindner Family Tennis Center. “Tough to describe. Definitely one of the toughest matches I’ve ever played in my life, regardless of what tournament, what category, what level, what player. It’s unbelievable.”

Such a dramatic final had appeared unlikely when the then-No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings Alcaraz led No. 2 Djokovic, who was visibly struggling in the heat, by a set and a break at 7-5, 4-3. Even after Djokovic had reclaimed the break, he was still forced to fend off a championship point at 5/6 in the second-set tie-break, which he did with a big serve-forehand combo.

With Alcaraz beginning to suffer with cramp in his right hand in the decider, Djokovic emerged from nowhere as the physically stronger in the closing stages. He still needed to win another tie-break to get over the line after Alcaraz rallied admirably from a break down in the decider, but he did so with his fifth championship point before falling to the ground in ecstasy.

“From the beginning until the end we’ve both been through so much, so many ups and downs, highs and lows, incredible points, poor games, heat strokes, coming back,” said Djokovic, who triumphed despite hitting just 28 winners to Alcaraz’s 42, according to Infosys ATP Stats. “Just overall, one of the toughest and most exciting matches I was ever part of. These are the kinds of moments and matches that I continue to work for day in day out. I was never in doubt that I can deliver the ‘A’ game when it mattered the most and [I am] just thrilled.”

After clinching his third Cincinnati title and his record-extending 39th Masters 1000 crown overall, Djokovic added another memorable moment to his dramatic victory: The 36-year-old ripped off his shirt Hulk-style in an iconic moment of pure emotion.

Despite disappointment at defeat in his maiden Cincinnati final and shedding tears during his speech at the trophy ceremony, Alcaraz remained philosophical after playing a significant role in one of the best matches of the 2024 ATP Tour season.

“I feel proud of myself, honestly,” said the Spaniard in his post-match press conference. “I [was] talking and I don’t know why I was crying because I fought until the last ball. I almost beat one of the greatest of all time from our sport. It’s crazy to talk about it right now, but I left the court really, really happy [with] what I did.”

Djokovic’s triumph for the ages also had a direct impact on the Serbian’s place in the tennis history books. With his win, he moved into outright third on the list of most career match wins with 1,069, passing both Rafael Nadal and Ivan Lendl. One year on, Djokovic will arrive in Cincinnati on 1,116 wins, trailing only Jimmy Connors (1,274) and Roger Federer (1,251).

Djokovic and Alcaraz’s rivalry has hardly slowed down in the 12 months since their memorable meeting in Cincinnati. Djokovic defeated his young rival again at the 2023 Nitto ATP Finals, before Alcaraz downed the Serbian in the Wimbledon final for the second straight year to clinch the 2024 edition of the grass major. Earlier this month, Djokovic prevailed in two high-level tie-break sets to finally capture an Olympic gold medal at Paris 2024.

With Djokovic now leading Alcaraz 4-3 in the pair’s Lexus ATP Head2Head series, fans in Ohio will eagerly anticipate a potential third tour-level clash of the year between the two. While they both now sit behind No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the PIF ATP Rankings, both will be hopeful of carving out more unforgettable memories on the hard courts of Cincinnati.

Sinner defends Canada crown in Montreal; Zverev, Medvedev in action

The best players in the world are set for the sixth ATP Masters 1000 tournament of the year at the National Bank Open Presented by Rogers in Montreal.

World No. 1 and defending Toronto champion Jannik Sinner leads the field with Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev also in action. ATPTour.com looks at 10 storylines to watch over the coming week.

1) Defending Champion Sinner: After withdrawing from the Paris Olympics due to tonsillitis, the Italian will make his first appearance since the Wimbledon quarter-finals. Last year’s title run in Toronto marked Sinner’s first Masters 1000 crown. Now the 22-year-old returns to Canadian soil as No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings, boasting a 42-4 season record.

2) Zverev Aims For Second Title Of Season: The second seed Zverev has fond memories in Montreal, where he won the title in 2017. Zverev, who this year lifted the trophy at the Masters 1000 event in Rome, leads the ATP Tour this season with 44 match wins.

3) Can Medvedev Master Montreal?: The third seed has lightheartedly said that he is a hard-court specialist. Now back on his beloved surface for the first time since March in Miami, Medvedev is aiming for his first title since Rome last year. A six-time Masters 1000 titlist, the 28-year-old won the Canadian event in 2021, when the tournament was held in Toronto.

4) Home Favourite Felix: Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime arrives at his home tournament following standout runs at the Paris Olympics, where he reached the semi-finals in singles and partnered Gabriela Dabrowski to win bronze in mixed doubles. A 2022 quarter-finalist, Auger-Aliassime aims to go one step further than this year’s Madrid runner-up finish to win his maiden Masters 1000 trophy.

5) Top 10 Seeds: Andrey Rublev arrives in Montreal following a quarter-final run in Washington. Casper Ruud, Grigor Dimitrov and Stefanos Tsitsipas return to hard courts for the first time since Miami. World No. 6 Hubert Hurkacz hopes to find his best level following a knee injury suffered at Wimbledon.

6) #NextGenATP Frenchman Fils: Hamburg champion Arthur Fils looks to consolidate his substantial lead in the PIF ATP Live Race To Jeddah. The two-time tour-level titlist is aiming for a return trip to the 20-and-under Next Gen ATP Finals presented by PIF, to be held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia from 18-22 December.

7) Raonic, Shapovalov Lead Home Hopes: Former World No. 3 Milos Raonic and 2017 semi-finalist Denis Shapovalov are among four Canadian main-draw wild cards. The 22-year-old 6’8” Gabriel Diallo, who two weeks ago won the ATP Challenger Tour event in Chicago, and Vasek Pospisil are also in the field.

8) Americans Aiming For Glory: An American man has not won the Canadian Masters 1000 event since Andy Roddick in 2003. This year, the United States has three players among the Top 12 seeds: Taylor Fritz, last year’s semi-finalist Tommy Paul and Ben Shelton.

9) Unseeded Surprise Run?: When the Canadian Masters 1000 tournament was held in Montreal two years ago, Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta went on a dream run, becoming the first unseeded player to win the tournament since 2002. Unseeded players hoping for their biggest career title this week include Fils, Sebastian Korda, Nicolas Jarry, Alexander Bublik and Jack Draper.

10) Granollers/Zeballos Doubles Top Seeds: Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos, first in the PIF ATP Live Doubles Teams Rankings, launch their quest for a second Masters 1000 title this season (Rome). Rohan Bopanna/Matthew Ebden and 2021 champions Rajeev Ram/Joe Salisbury are also competing.

Rune, Tsitsipas, Monfils reflect on Djokovic's win: 'He's completed tennis in a way'

While Novak Djokovic battled Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday in Paris for the Olympic singles gold medal, the rest of the ATP Tour’s stars were in Montreal, preparing for the National Bank Open Presented by Rogers. Dozens watched the match in the players’ lounge, including No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings Jannik Sinner and his team.

After the match, the world’s best players were in awe of Djokovic’s accomplishment. The Serbian defeated Alcaraz to complete his set of ‘Big Titles’. He has won all four Grand Slam tournaments, all nine ATP Masters 1000 events, the Nitto ATP Finals and now the Olympic singles gold medal.

Holger Rune thought the match was “incredible”.

“I think if there’s one person that deserves it so much, it’s Novak. He’s completed tennis in a way,” Rune told ATPTour.com. “He’s taking tennis to another level. He’s just the greatest. I take massive inspiration from him and I think he’s a very nice guy as well.

“Novak is 37 now and winning the gold medal, I think it shows a little bit on the level he is producing. I think it’s completely incredible. Hopefully we’ll still see him a few more years on the Tour so we can compete against him.”

Stefanos Tsitsipas explained that he could tell how much Djokovic wanted the final crowning jewel in his collection.

“He visualised getting a gold medal,” Tsitsipas said. “I’m sure he’s someone that has been putting a lot of effort into making that happen. It is probably one of the things that he was missing as World No. 1 and a multiple Grand Slam champion, the gold medal. It was something that was not part of his collection.”

En route to the gold medal, Djokovic defeated Tsitsipas in a tight two-setter in which the Greek had a big opportunity to claim the second set and force a decider.

“I felt like I was playing good at the Olympics myself and I had a massive lead against him in the second set. And I honestly did feel like I had some good chances in that particular match,” Tsitsipas said. “It was disappointing to see myself lose up there being a double break up in that match. But at least I can say I put my best effort and I lost to the champion, the gold medalist of the Olympic Games. I did try my best. Having played good tennis at Roland Garros, at least getting any kind of medal at the Olympics would have been a dream of mine.”

Pablo Carreno Busta, a close friend of Alcaraz’s who also has long trained at Juan Carlos Ferrero’s eponymous academy, watched the first set of the gold-medal match before his practice session.

“I think that they played unbelievable tennis,” Carreno Busta said. “It’s true that Carlos probably at the beginning was a little bit nervous, but that’s normal. For Novak also, it probably was his last chance to [win] the gold medal. I think it was a big spectacle for tennis. Carlos and Novak are probably the best in this moment and we enjoy watching them.”

— ATP Tour (@atptour) August 4, 2024

The last player to defeat Djokovic at the Olympic Games was Carreno Busta, in the Tokyo bronze-medal match.

“Probably I played one of my best tournaments of my career. I remember that when I lost in semi-finals against Karen Khachanov, I thought, ‘Well, if I lost against Karen and now I have to play against Novak, how many chances will I have to win the bronze medal?’” Carreno Busta recalled. “But then after that I I remember that when I started the match I just thought of doing my best and we’ll see what happens. If Novak plays at his 100 per cent, it’s true that it’s very, very difficult for me to beat him but I know also Novak lost the day before in the semi-finals in singles, also in semi-finals in mixed doubles. So for him it was probably very, very tough mentally, and I think that I took advantage of this.”

One of the players on Tour who has known Djokovic the longest is Gael Monfils. Their first Lexus ATP Head2Head match was in 2005 and the Serbian leads their series 19-0. Even so, the Frenchman was thrilled to see Djokovic triumph in Paris.

“He completed so much before. Novak is a legend in our sport,” Monfils said. “He is just completely special. He is completely different, completely special and for him I think it’s the biggest accomplishment possible so I’m just super happy for him.”

Korda battles back to win Washington title, matching father's feat from 1992

Playing in his eighth tour-level singles final, Sebastian Korda won his second title at the Mubadala Citi DC Open in a 4-6, 6-2, 6-0 triumph filled with significance.

In becoming the first American man to win the Washington crown since Andy Roddick in 2007, the home favourite also matched his father, Petr Korda, who won the D.C. title in 1992. The Kordas are the first father-son duo to win the same title on the ATP Tour.

Looking forward, the triumph set Korda up to rise to a career-high PIF ATP Ranking of No. 18 on Monday.

After a two-hour delay due to rain and a three-set women’s final, Korda dominated much of the match against first-time finalist Cobolli. But the Italian came up with one of the shots of the day on his first break point to snatch the opening set with a screaming forehand winner.

From 1-2 in the second, Korda won 11 straight games to run away with the ATP 500 title. Playing within himself, he leaned on his experience to see off a spirited effort from the 22-year-old Cobolli, who competed in the Next Gen ATP Finals presented by PIF in November.

Now 2-0 in the pair’s Lexus ATP Head2Head, Korda now has one “road” win in Rome in addition to this victory in front of his home fans in Washington. 

Both men have saved match points on their way to the title match: Korda saved two against Thanasi Kokkinakis in the third round, while Cobolli fought off five against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the second round.

Like Korda, Cobolli will also leave Washington with a career-high PIF ATP Ranking. The Italian is set to move up 15 places to World No. 33 on Monday.

Darderi, Giron among ATP stars to trade racquet for hockey stick in Montreal

ATP Tour stars traded racquets for sticks on Saturday ahead of the National Bank Open Presented by Rogers in the annual ATP Masters 1000 Canada ball hockey game.

Nuno Borges, Luciano Darderi, Alexis Galarneau, Marcos Giron, Miomir Kecmanovic and Vasek Pospisil played a team of PWHL stars and a ball hockey pro in a thrilling game. The hockey standouts eventually won in a nail-biting shootout.

“It’s amazing. It was very humbling. It’s fun to play though,” Giron said. “We always play tennis, but I think all of us tennis players grew up playing other sports and it’s always fun to give it a shot in another thing. But the hockey stick does not quite feel like an extension of the arm like a tennis racquet does.”

<img src=”/-/media/images/news/2024/08/04/22/23/giron-montreal-2024-hockey.jpg?w=100%25&hash=5BCED422841C4B4E651C4D132F473824″ style=”width:100%;” alt=”Marcos Giron plays ball hockey Saturday in Montreal.” />
^{Marcos Giron shoots on net during Saturday’s game.} 
Borges had never previously played hockey, but had a great time trying to learn the sport.

“The fact that we struggled so much, at least me, I wanted to keep playing to improve because I couldn’t hit the ball. It was really hard,” Borges said. “You’d think we’d have a little advantage just knowing how to handle a racquet as an extension, but the stick is totally different. It was fun trying out a new sport with all the different gear, the gloves. It’s cool experimenting with stuff. I had a lot of fun.”

<img src=”/-/media/images/news/2024/08/04/22/24/galarneau-montreal-2024-hockey.jpg” style=”width:100%;” alt=”Alexis Galarneau plays ball hockey Saturday in Montreal.” />
^{Alexis Galarneau enjoys competing in the ball hockey game.}
The tennis players enjoyed plenty of laughs throughout. Darderi, who is No. 34 in the PIF ATP Rankings, had never played either. Yet by the end of the game he had grown comfortable enough to make a highlight-reel assist by passing the ball above the net to a teammate, who put it past the goalie.

Tennis racquets back in hand, the tournament’s main draw will begin Tuesday.

Fonseca follows in Sinner’s footsteps with Lexington Challenger title

Joao Fonseca etched his name in the record books Sunday when the 17-year-old became the youngest Brazilian to win an ATP Challenger Tour title.

The #NextGenATP star, who strengthened his claim on sixth in the PIF ATP Live Race To Jeddah, did not drop a set en route to his Lexington Challenger triumph. Competing in his second final at that level, Fonseca showed no signs of nerves as he defeated Australian Li Tu 6-1, 6-4 to clinch the trophy. The teenager fell on his back in relief after securing the milestone victory.

“I’m really happy to win my first title. It means a lot to me,” Fonseca told commentator Bryan Fenley. “One year after of my first big title, which was the US Open juniors. I’m really, really happy. It was not easy. Really hard work back home. I really want to thank my coaches, my parents, they’ve supported me my whole life, not only incentivising me to play tennis, but also with being a good kid with maturity. It’s really nice.”

The Lexington Challenger has featured a trio of 17-year-old champions since 2019, including Jannik Sinner, current World No. 1, who won the hard-court event five years ago Sunday. China’s Shang Juncheng triumphed in 2022. Coincidentally, Fonseca is just one day younger than Sinner was when the Italian won in Lexington.

The 2023 US Open boys’ singles champion, who reached the quarter-finals at this year’s tour-level events in Rio de Janeiro and Bucharest, is set to climb 48 spots to World No. 166 in Monday’s PIF ATP Rankings, marking his Top 200 debut. Fonseca is aiming for his maiden trip to the 20-and-under Next Gen ATP Finals presented by PIF, which runs from 18-22 December in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

“I try not to think so much about ranking, just try to improve week after week, day by day,” Fonseca said. “I just try to improve my game and to win matches. I try to develop not only as a player, but also a person.”

Fonseca is the seventh-youngest player from South America to claim a Challenger title and second-youngest from the continent to win a hard-court tournament at that level. Only Juan Martin del Potro was one month younger when he won a hard-court Challenger.

In other ATP Challenger Tour action, August Holmgren captured his second title in three weeks by triumphing at the Porto Open in Portugal, where the Dane defeated sixth-seeded Spaniard Alejandro Moro Canas 7-6(3), 7-6(6) in the final.

A 2022 graduate of the University of San Diego who fell to Ben Shelton in that year’s NCAA singles championship match, Holmgren saved a match point in Saturday’s semi-finals against third seed Mikhail Kukushkin.

Following his title run, the 26-year-old is up to No. 167 in the PIF ATP Live Rankings, one spot behind Fonseca, setting the Dane up for a new career-high Monday. Two weeks ago, Holmgren won the Pozoblanco Challenger, his first title at that level.

Belgian Raphael Collignon won his maiden Challenger title at the Platzmann Open in Luedenscheid, Germany. The 22-year-old rallied past top seed Botic van de Zandschulp 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the final.

Hugo Dellien collected his 12th Challenger title and second in the past month with a dominant run at the Svijany Open 2024 in Liberec, Czech Republic. The 31-year-old Bolivian dropped one set all week, overcoming Dane Elmer Moller 5-7, 6-4, 6-1 in the final.
