Carlos Alcaraz won a tour-leading sixth title of the season in Cincinnati on Monday after Sinner retired from the final with illness while trailing 0-5 in the opening set and the result has turned up the heat in the rankings race ahead of the season's final major.

The 2025 US Open Tennis Championships is live from Queens, New York, as the top players from the men's and women's divisions compete for a Grand Slam title.

After a rough start to the year, Świątek (+310) is now basically neck and neck odds-wise with Sabalenka (+290), who is, again, the defending US Open champion. If anyone can unseat Sabalenka, it sure feels like Świątek is the most likely to do it.

There is no doubt that Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are the two top favorites to win this edition of the US Open, which will take place in New York from August 24 to September 7. Both have won this tournament once and are perfectly aware of its importance for the race for the first position in the ATP rankings as well.

CNN World Sport’s Amanda Davies and tennis journalist and broadcaster Simon Cambers reflect on the Cincinnati Open champions and look ahead to the upcoming US Open.
