- Coric beats Stefanos Tsitsipas 7-6 (0), 6-2 to continue comeback
- Garcia keeps up fine form with 6-2, 6-4 win over Petra Kvitova
Borna Coric continued his remarkable comeback from injury by securing the Western & Southern Open title, beating Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Cincinnati final. The Croatian, who began the week with a world ranking of No 152, was joined in the winners’ circle by Caroline Garcia, who won the women’s title as a qualifier.
Returning after surgery on his right shoulder last year, Coric only returned to the ATP Tour in March. In the tournament via a protected ranking, the Croatian defeated Rafael Nadal, Félix Auger-Aliassime and Cameron Norrie on his run to the final, before a 7-6 (0), 6-2 victory over the fourth seed Tsitsipas on Sunday.
