On his 24th birthday, Jannik Sinner's journey in Cincinnati did not stop. Facing Atmane - the French player who caused a big surprise when going straight from the qualifying round to the semi-finals, Sinner showed the mettle of the world's No. 1 tennis player.

He did not give his opponent any break chances, won 91% of his first serve points and took only 86 minutes to reach his 8th Masters 1000 final in his career.

The victory also marked a milestone: Sinner's 200th win on hard court on the ATP Tour. It also extended his winning streak on hard court to 26.

In the other semi-final, Alcaraz showed impressive form against Alexander Zverev. Despite being down 0-40 at one point, Alcaraz still managed to escape and won the first set 6-4. In the second set, Zverev had physical problems and quickly accepted defeat with a score of 3-6. With this victory, Alcaraz evened the head-to-head record with Zverev at 6-6.

Not to be outdone by the world No. 1, this is Alcaraz's seventh ATP final this year. He leads the season in wins (53) and has a 16-match winning streak at the Masters 1000 level.

Since April, the Spaniard has won 38 of his 40 matches. At 22, he became the third youngest player to reach nine Masters 1000 finals, behind only legends Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.

After fierce matches in Rome, Roland Garros and Wimbledon, Sinner and Alcaraz will face each other again in the final of the 2025 Cincinnati Open. The match will take place at 2:00 a.m. on August 19 (Vietnam time).

This match is not only a battle for the title but also the final step for both players to have the best preparation for the 2025 US Open. This is truly a dream final for tennis fans.

Notably, this year's Cincinnati championship also comes with a huge prize: 1.1 million USD, a significant increase compared to last year's 1 million USD. This attractive prize money promises to make the confrontation even more fierce.
