Weekend Tennis Roundup (08/17)


Another week and another unfinished 1000 event. So while we await the winners of Sinner vs. Alcaraz and Swiatek vs. Paolini, enjoy all the ATP beef that's fit to post BELOW.

Show this to your boss ...


Nikola Mektic and Rajeev Ram completed a dream run at the Cincinnati Open on Sunday when they held their nerve to defeat Lorenzo Musetti and Lorenzo Sonego in the doubles final to secure their maiden Masters 1000 title -- and first title period -- as a pair. Playing their first tour-level final together in just their third event of the year, Mektic and Ram staged a comeback to edge the all-Italian pair 4-6, 6-3, 10-5 in a 90-minute clash.


UPDATE: So the men's final turned out to be a big letdown: Jannik Sinner was trailing 5-0 -- three breaks down -- when he suddenly retired. 


Wasn't clear what was ailing him but Carlos (and I) will take the points!


Iga Swiatek captured the Cincinnati Open title for the first time by defeating No. 7 Jasmine Paolini 7-5, 6-4 on Monday night. As a result of her latest triumph, Swiatek has returned to No.2 in the WTA standings and suddenly has a shot at dethroning Aryna Sabalenka from the top spot before this season ends.


Despite losing in the semis, Lloyd Glasspool and Julian Cash are now the top men's doubles team in the world.
