Zverev Beats Shelton to Win US Open 2026 and Second Grand Slam Title The US Open has witnessed its share of Cinderella stories, but none have captivated the sports world quite like Ben Shelton's bid to become the first American man to win a Grand Slam title since Andy Roddick in 2003.
However, it was Alexander Zverev who ultimately emerged victorious, claiming his second Grand Slam title and silencing Shelton's hopes. The contrast between these two athletes could not be starker.
While Shelton, just 23 years old, has been making waves with his impressive performances at the US Open, Zverev has established himself as a consistent force in men's tennis, with two major titles to his name.
