Jannik Sinner has arrived at the Cincinnati Open, where he will aim to defend his title at the ATP Masters 1000 event in Ohio.
The 23-year-old Italian, competing for the first time since winning Wimbledon last month, hit at the hard-court event on Sunday, sharing laughs with his team before fine-tuning his game. Sinner has fond memories in Cincinnati, having defeated Frances Tiafoe to clinch the trophy last year.

The No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings is 26-3 on the year, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index, and is seeking his maiden Masters 1000 trophy of 2025. Sinner will be joined at the event by Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz and Carlos Alcaraz, who fell to Sinner in the Wimbledon final in the pair’s latest Lexus ATP Head2Head meeting.
The Cincinnati Open begins Thursday and has undergone a major transformation as it expands to a two-week, 96-player event in 2025, coinciding with a $260 million campus renovation. This expansion aims to enhance both player and fan experiences, with the addition of new courts. The final will be played on Monday 18 August.
