Yardbarker on MSNATP Race Update: Carlos Alcaraz extends lead as Jannik Sinner secures his spot in Turin
After the Cincinnati Open Masters 1000, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner were once again the point leaders of the week, and the ATP Race to Turin did not show significant changes from recent weeks.
No one will be getting an early glimpse at the men’s world No.1 singles player in Flushing this year, nor an 11-time Grand Slam doubles champion.
Jannik Sinner’s preparations for the US Open ended in emotional scenes as he retired from the Cincinnati final after just five games and 23 minutes.
It leaves Sinner battling to recover in time for the US Open singles, which gets underway this weekend. He is the defending champion, having beaten Taylor Fritz in last year's final. He will be desperate to retain his crown but will need to be in top condition in order to stand the best chance of success.
Nathan, a co-founder of the sports website Defector Media, has published “ Changeover: A Young Rivalry and a New Era of Men’s Tennis ” with Gallery Books. He spent the 2024 season squarely focused on Sinner and Alcaraz, in which they split the four majors and accelerated their ascension into a tennis stratosphere of their own creation.
