Zverev also wins US Open, Shelton unable to end long American drought
Alexander Zverev won the US Open title on 2026-09-13 in New York, defeating Ben Shelton 6-3, 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-2. Zverev became only the second German male winner after Boris Becker in 1989. Initially unaware of his victory, Zverev celebrated after realizing his win. Previously known as the best player without a Grand Slam, he also won Roland Garros earlier this year. Shelton, aiming to be the first American male winner since Andy Roddick in 2003, fell short despite a packed Arthur Ashe Stadium.
