The German tennis player Alexander Zverev won yesterday the final of the United States Open, defeating the American Ben Shelton. This victory represents an important milestone in the German's career, who managed to win his second Grand Slam title in just three months.
Zverev publicly recalled that he spent 13 years without being able to win a Grand Slam tournament. During that period, the tennis player came close to the goal on several occasions, but never managed to achieve it until recently.
In May this year, Zverev had won the Rome Masters 1000, which gave him confidence for the rest of the season. Since then, the German showed a consistent level of play that now allowed him to lift the US Open trophy.
The victory over Ben Shelton in the final consolidated Zverev's good form, who demonstrated being at the best moment of his career. The German thus completed a remarkable journey, going from 13 years without winning a major to winning two important titles in just three months.
