London, 17 August 2025 (PA Media/dpa/MIA) - Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will clash in Cincinnati Open final after the world's top two players won their respective semi-finals on Saturday.

World number one Sinner and second-ranked Alcaraz will meet in a repeat of the French Open and Wimbledon finals earlier this summer.

Sinner celebrated his 24th birthday by halting French wildcard Terence Atmane's surprise run to the last four in a 7-6 (7-4), 6-2 win.

World number 136 Atmane – who had never been inside the top 100 but will now climb to 69 – went toe-to-toe with Sinner in a tight opening set, but the defending champion found an extra gear in the tie-break and cruised to victory in the second.

It was Sinner's 26th successive hard-court win and his 12th in a row on all surfaces.

Alcaraz brushed off Alexander Zverev in straight sets, beating the German 6-4, 6-3.

In the doubles event, British pair Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool saw their 22-match winning streak come to an end in the semi-finals.

The Wimbledon champions had won their last four events but lost to Nikola Mektic and Rajeev Ram 7-6 (7-4), 7-6 (7-2).
