Zverev Reaches US Open 2026 Semi-Finals After Victory

On September 10, 2026, Alexander Zverev advanced to the semi-finals of the US Open after a decisive victory over Botic van de Zandschulp with a score of 6-2, 7-5, 6-1 at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Zverev, the tournament's top seed, had stayed up until approximately 3:30 am to watch Ben Shelton defeat defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in a five-set match, which set a record for the latest finish in US Open history.

Despite the late night, Zverev's performance was unaffected, showcasing his resilience. His journey to the semi-finals included two challenging five-set matches against Lorenzo Sonego and Quentin Halys, followed by straight-set wins against Alejandro Tabilo and Luciano Darderi.

Zverev's recent form has been impressive, as he has won his last three matches in straight sets. This achievement is significant as he is the only player to reach the semi-finals at all four Grand Slam tournaments in 2026, following his victory at the French Open and a final appearance at Wimbledon.
