Alexander Zverev captured his second Grand Slam title on Sunday by defeating American Ben Shelton 6‑3, 7‑6 (7‑2), 5‑7, 6‑2 in the US Open final. The German, who had previously fallen short in the 2020 championship match, secured the victory in New York’s Arthur Ashe Stadium, earning his first major win since his 2022 triumph at the ATP Finals.
Shelton, who entered the final seeking to become the first American man to win a major since Andy Roddick’s 2003 US Open title, pushed Zverev to a four‑set contest but was unable to overturn the German’s early dominance. Zverev’s win not only adds a second Grand Slam to his résumé but also reaffirms his status among the sport’s elite as the season progresses toward the ATP Finals.
