Something needs to change," Davidovich Fokina's outburst against Cincinnati's organization
The Cincinnati final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz failed to live up to expectations due to the Italian's withdrawal, caused by weather conditions.
The tournament was also affected by numerous withdrawals for the same reasons, including Arthur Rinderknech's exit in the third round.
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina spoke out on his X account to criticize the organization.
He stated: "A final on Monday, at 3 PM in August in Cincinnati, after the entire Toronto and Cincinnati tour, with so many withdrawals and players physically exhausted... something needs to change.
