Alexander Zverev defeated Ben Shelton to win his second Grand Slam title of his career. The German tennis player beat the young American in a final that took place at Roland Garros, adding this trophy to the US Open he had already won previously.
With this victory, Zverev joins the US Open title with that of Roland Garros, thus completing a 2026 season that the Spanish media has described as magical for the German player.
The German, who had already lost several Grand Slam finals throughout his career, finally managed to fulfill the dream of winning in Paris, overcoming Shelton, who represented one of the great promises of world tennis.
This conquest marks an important moment in Zverev's career, as he consolidates himself as one of the great names in contemporary tennis by managing to win on two so different surfaces as the clay courts of Roland Garros and the hard courts of Flushing Meadows.
