Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus is congratulated by Iga Swiatek of Poland after their match during the semifinals on Day 8 of the Cincinnati Open at the Lindner Family Tennis Center on Aug. 18 in Mason, Ohio.Italian world No. 1 Jannik Sinner shook off a second-set blip to beat Germany’s Alexander Zverev 7-6 5-7 7-6 on Sunday and reach the Cincinnati Open final, while on the women’s side of the draw, Jessica Pegula set up a final against Aryna Sabalenka earlier in the day.
The players exchanged early breaks in the second set but German world number four Zverev used a hold at love to go 6-5 up and then levelled the match in the next game when Sinner sent a forehand smash into the net. Earlier in the day, Aryna Sabalenka advanced to her first Cincinnati Open final with relative ease, defeating Polish world No. 1 Iga Swiatek 6-3 6-3 in the semi-finals, setting up a contest with American Jessica Pegula, who beat Spain’s Paula Badosa 6-2 3-6 6-3 in a much tougher second semi-final that was briefly suspended due to rain.
