Jannik Sinner appeared very dejected after being forced to withdraw from the ATP Cincinnati final against Carlos Alcaraz due to a feverish condition that attacked him since yesterday. Hence, in the trophy ceremony, he apologized after playing only 23 minutes of the final: "Usually, I start with the opponent, but today I have to start with you guys. I am very sorry to disappoint you. Yesterday I didn't feel very well. I thought it would improve overnight. It got worse. I tried to go out and play at least a short match, but I couldn't continue. I am very sorry for all of you. I know that some of you might have had to work or do something else on Monday, so I am very sorry," lamented the world number one.
