Jannik Sinner vs Frances Tiafoe, Cincinnati Open 2024 Final: Where to watch, TV schedule, live streaming details and more
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner will take on home favorite Frances Tiafoe in the final of the Cincinnati Open 2024 on Monday, August 19. The Italian commenced his quest for a title here with a 6-4, 7-5 win over Alex Michelsen. He then received a walkover from Jordan Thompson to move into the quarterfinals.
Sinner faced Andrey Rublev in the last eight, who beat him at this stage at last week's Canadian Open. The top seed avenged his loss as he rallied from a set down to beat the Russian 4-6, 7-5, 6-4. He was up against World No. 3 Alexander Zverev in the semifinals and edged past him 7-6 (9), 5-7, 7-6 (4) to reach his fifth final of the season.
Tiafoe secured straight-set victories over Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Lorenzo Musetti to make the third round. He fought past Jiri Lecheka in three sets to reach the quarterfinals, where he took on Hubert Hurkacz. The Pole retired after losing the first set, thus sending the American into the semifinals.
Tiafoe faced Holger Rune for a spot in the title round. He overcame a one-set deficit, staged a comeback from 5-2 down in the decider and saved two match points as well for a 4-6, 6-1, 7-6 (4) victory. He has now reached his first Masters 1000 final.
After a rather average season, Tiafoe has hit his stride at the Cincinnati Open. He has won more than three matches in a row for the first time this year here. Sinner, meanwhile, improved his yearly record to 47-5, and is gunning for his fifth title of the season.
This will be Sinner's fifth meeting against Tiafoe, and he leads him 3-1 in the head-to-head. The Italian won their previous encounter at last year's Erste Bank Open in Vienna in straight sets.
This promises to be another exciting showdown between the two based on their history. On that note, here are all the details about the upcoming episode of their rivalry:
