Zverev Claims 2026 US Open Title, Defeats Shelton
On September 14, 2026, Alexander Zverev triumphed over Ben Shelton to win the US Open, securing his second Grand Slam title of the year. Zverev, the top seed, won the match with scores of 6-3, 7-6(2), 5-7, 6-2 at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
This victory came six years after his defeat to Dominic Thiem in the 2020 US Open final, a loss that had raised doubts about his ability to convert talent into Grand Slam success. Zverev had previously won the French Open earlier in the season and faced a challenging path to the final, not encountering a top-20 opponent until Shelton.
His experience proved crucial in the final, as he displayed composure that had previously eluded him in high-stakes matches.
