Arthur Fils crowned champion at the Cincinnati Masters 1000
Arthur Fils won the Cincinnati Open this weekend, beating American Frances Tiafoe in the final 6-3, 1-6, 6-0. A rollercoaster of a match for a Frenchman who claims the biggest title of his ATP career.
A 2026 season on the rise
This Cincinnati title is no fluke: Arthur Fils had already reached the semi-finals in Miami and then Madrid earlier in the season, confirming a steady rise on the Masters 1000 circuit. This win in Ohio crowns months of progress.
A dramatic final
After a solid first set (6-3) and a rough patch in the second (1-6), Arthur Fils completely turned things around in the third set, handing Frances Tiafoe a resounding 6-0 to claim the title.
On PredicTennis, this final had its share of surprises for players who had backed a straightforward scenario: those who predicted a tight three-set winner walk away with the exact-score bonus, while everyone else still pockets the base points tied to the Frenchman's odds.
