Arthur Fils defeated Frances Tiafoe in the final, 6–3, 1–6, 6–0 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2026 Cincinnati Open. It was his first ATP Masters 1000 title, and fifth career ATP Tour title overall. Fils was the first Frenchman to win the Cincinnati Open title since Guy Forget in 1991, and the first to win a Masters title overall since Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at the 2014 Canadian Open.
