Zverev Wins U.S. Open, Beats Shelton in Four Sets
Alexander Zverev beat Ben Shelton 6-3, 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-2 in the U.S. Open final on Sunday in Queens, his second Grand Slam title of 2026 after the French Open. Shelton was trying to become the first American man to win a major since Andy Roddick in 2003. Zverev, the No. 1 seed, earned $5.5 million and didn't realize he'd won until moments after match point.
