TORONTO – A tournament that had most of the top players in the world with the notable exception of Novak Djokovic comes down to the final day.

And it’s unseeded Alex de Minaur who made it all the way in the bottom half.

In the top half, it was Jannik Sinner.

For both, it would be a first ATP 1000 title. And in the end, it was Sinner going away.

And in Cincinnati, where the qualifying is wrapping up, the main draw also began.
