On Monday, August 18, Alcaraz won the men's singles title at the Cincinnati Open for the first time in his career after his final opponent, reigning World No. 1 Jannik Sinner, retired mid-match citing illness. Later, Swiatek fought hard to defeat Jasmine Paolini in the women's singles final.

In the aftermath of the results, the official X (formerly Twitter) handle of the Cincinnati Open posted a video showing Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek aboard a private jet headed for New York. In the video, the Spaniard and the Pole laid bare their appreciation for the combined ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 tournament in Cincinnati.
