It was hot today at the Cincinatti Open. Well, it was hot every day but still…. On this day there was another shortened match due to the heat. Arthur Rinderknech (FRA) world rank #70 took on Felix Auger-Aliassime (CAN) world rank #28. Auger-Aliassime would go on to win in straight sets after a scary incident where Rinderknech was lying on the ground for what seemed like forever because of the heat. Rinderknech played a few more games but ultimately could not continue and retired.
