  "account": "Arthur Fils clinched his maiden ATP Masters 1000 title in Cincinnati, outlasting Frances Tiafoe 6-3, 1-6, 6-0. At 22, Fils vaulted from 21st to a potential career-high 11th in the world rankings ahead of the US Open. The Frenchman dominated the first set, conceding only three points. Tiafoe turned the tide in the second set, capitalizing on Fils's errors, but succumbed to Fils's resurgence after a pre-set injury treatment during the third. Despite saving two match points in the decider, Tiafoe's final bid was thwarted when Fils executed a lob, sealing victory after 98 minutes.",
  "summary": "Arthur Fils beat Frances Tiafoe 6-3, 1-6, 6-0 to win his biggest career title and is projected to jump from 21st in the world rankings to a career-high 11th.",
