Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz produced another final that will go down in tennis folklore.

Novak Djokovic fought back from a championship point down to beat Carlos Alcaraz 5-7 7-6(7) 6-3 in an epic Cincinnati Open final that will go down as one of the best in history.

In a match that lasted 3 hours, 49 minutes, the longest best-of-three sets final in ATP Tour history (since 1990), the No. 2-seeded Djokovic avenged his loss last month to the top-ranked Alcaraz and earned his 95th career title, passing Ivan Lendl for third among men in the professional era, dating to 1968.

“This was one of the exciting matches I’ve ever played in any tournament,” Djokovic, the winner of a men’s-record 23 Grand Slam titles, said during the postmatch trophy presentation. “It felt like a Grand Slam.”

Sunday’s meeting was the fourth one between Djokovic and Alcaraz, with each player having won two matches.

Coco Gauff won her third hard-court competition of the season, and the first WTA 1000 title of her career, as she beat Karolina Muchova 6-3 6-4 at the Cincinnati Open in Ohio on Sunday afternoon. Gauff will move up to No. 6 in the world rankings as a result of the success, and will hope to carry her good form into the upcoming US Open to be held in New York.

Gauff was the tournament’s fourth teenage finalist and the first since Vera Zvonareva in 2004. She is the first teenage champion since 17-year-old Linda Tuero in 1968.

“This is unbelievable,” Gauff said during the postmatch trophy presentation. “I’m just happy to be here for this moment.”

While Novak Djokovic won the men’s singles title, the doubles title went to the unseeded Argentine duo Maximo Gonzalez and Andres Molteni.

Gonzalez and Molteni saved championship point to down Jamie Murray and Michael Venus 3-6, 6-1, 11-9 on Sunday in Cincinnnati for the biggest title of their careers. Having also saved two match points in their semi-final win against second seeds Ivan Dodig and Austin Krajicek, it capped an emotional weekend for the unseeded pair, which has now won a Tour-leading five titles in 2023.

Alycia Parks and Taylor Townsend topped off a fantastic week in Cincinnati by defeating Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Ellen Perez in the Western & Southern Open final on Saturday, August 19. The American pair came from a set down to defeat the No. 3 seeds 6-7(1), 6-4, [10-6] in a match that lasted one hour and 35 minutes, and finished in the early hours of Sunday.

The unseeded duo beat four Top 5 teams in a row en route to the title.

The result marks the first WTA 1000 title for both 27-year-old Townsend and 22-year-old Parks. Overall, it is the fourth career WTA doubles title for Townsend, and the second for Parks.

Attention now turns to the US Open on August 28.
