Frances Tiafoe vs Arthur Fils final live streaming, TV channel, where & how to watch: Cincinnati Open 2026
Fils had beaten Tiafoe in their only previous meeting which took place last year in Miami
Arthur Fils and Frances Tiafoe meet in the Cincinnati Open 2026 final with both chasing their first ATP Masters 1000 title. Fils has dropped just one set throughout the tournament, while Tiafoe has matched that record and arrives after defeating Brandon Nakashima 7-5, 6-3.
Tiafoe is playing his second Cincinnati final after finishing runner-up to Jannik Sinner in 2024. The American has enjoyed a strong run this week, defeating Felix Auger-Aliassime, Lorenzo Musetti and Nakashima, and is now just one victory away from becoming the first American man to win the Cincinnati title since Andy Roddick in 2006.
Fils, meanwhile, is appearing in his first Masters 1000 final and has finally found his full range after his extended struggles with injury.
The Frenchman has already reached the semi-finals in Miami and Madrid and the quarter-finals in Indian Wells and Montreal, while his Cincinnati run has included wins over Alex de Minaur and Flavio Cobolli.
The winner of this clash will finish #11 on the ATP rankings, and will be considered a real threat at the upcoming US Open, especially after the withdrawal of Jannik Sinner.
