German Alexander Zverev won the US Open title by defeating American Ben Shelton in the final played in New York. The match was decided in four sets, with scores of 6-3, 7-6, 5-7 and 6-2 in favor of Zverev.
With this victory, Zverev reached his second Grand Slam title of his career. The German had previously won his first major, and now consolidates his return to the top of world tennis after overcoming a serious ankle injury in 2022.
Ben Shelton, who was seeking his first Grand Slam title, could not stop the opponent's favoritism in the final. The young American, who had impressed in the previous rounds of the tournament, was overcome by Zverev's experience and consistency.
The US Open is one of the four Grand Slam tournaments on the professional tennis circuit, held annually in New York. This edition marks Zverev's historic conquest, as he becomes one of the few German players to win multiple Grand Slam titles.
