Ben Shelton Upsets Alcaraz to Reach US Open Semis

Ben Shelton, the eighth seed, achieved a stunning victory over defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals of the US Open, winning the match 6-7(5), 6-1, 6-3, 1-6, 7-6(10-7). The match lasted four hours and 28 minutes, concluding at 3:33 a.m., which is recorded as the latest finish in US Open history.

With this win, Shelton advances to the semi-finals, where he will face fellow American Frances Tiafoe. This result ensures that a new men's US Open champion will be crowned this year, as the last American man to win a Grand Slam singles title was Andy Roddick in 2003.
