This Week in Tennis: North American Swing Moves to Cincinnati

At the Cincinnati Masters on August 17, 2026, Novak Djokovic was upset by Argentine Thiago Agustin Tirante 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 in the second round. Djokovic, who had not played since Wimbledon, cited a long-standing health condition that worsens in hot and humid conditions as a factor in his performance. The 25-year-old Tirante improved to 4-1 against Top 10 opponents, with previous wins over Ben Shelton in Munich and Taylor Fritz at the National Bank Open in Montreal.
