American Ben Shelton joins German Alexander Zverev in US Open final

Sábado12 September 2026 at 08:29

American Ben Shelton reached the US Open final, joining German Alexander Zverev in the tournament decider. Shelton thus secures a place in a Grand Slam final for the first time in his career.

Zverev, for his part, advanced to the final by defeating fellow American Frances Tiafoe in four sets. The German demonstrated consistency throughout the match to secure the victory.

With this final, the US Open will have an unprecedented champion, as neither Shelton nor Zverev have ever won this tournament before. The final promises to be a clash between Shelton's youth and Zverev's experience.

Why this matters

This final is significant for tennis fans in the region, as it marks Ben Shelton's first Grand Slam final, a 22-year-old American, representing an important milestone in his career. The presence of two unseeded players among the finalists (both outside the top 10) also reflects the tournament's unpredictability.
