Fils has enjoyed an impressive run in Ohio, overcoming a number of top players to reach the biggest final of his career.

The 22-year-old defeated ninth seed Jiri Lehecka and fifth seed Alex de Minaur before delivering a statement victory over seventh seed Flavio Cobolli in the semi-finals.

The French ace needed just 68 minutes to sweep past the Italian and is just the second player born in 2004 or later to reach a Masters 1000 final.

Fils will now enter the final full of confidence, having beaten Tiafoe in their only previous meeting in Miami last year.

While the American has a losing record against Fils, he will have the home crowd behind him.

The 17th seed has looked hugely impressive in Cincinnati, particularly in his comprehensive straight-set win over the in-form Felix Auger-Aliassime in the last 16.

Having secured a comfortable 7-5, 6-3 win over fellow American Brandon Nakashima in the semi-finals, he’ll now play in the Cincinnati Open final for the second time in three years.

However, he’ll hope for a more positive result after losing to Jannik Sinner in the 2024 showpiece.
