German Alexander Zverev won the United States Open today by defeating American Ben Shelton in the final in four sets. This victory represents his second Grand Slam title, both won in 2026.
Zverev, at 29 years old, demonstrated his experience throughout the match, managing to overcome the young American opponent. The German had already won his first major earlier this year.
Ben Shelton, who was playing at home because he is American, could not fulfill the dream of winning his first Grand Slam. The 22-year-old player reached the final as the tournament's surprise.
With this victory, Zverev consolidates his position among the best tennis players in the world, adding this US Open title to the other Grand Slam he had already won this season.
