Alexander Zverev captures second Grand Slam title at 2026 US Open final

Alexander Zverev secured his second Grand Slam title by defeating Ben Shelton at the 2026 US Open final. After winning Roland Garros earlier this year, Zverev faced Shelton, who had been making headlines with a strong tournament run. Zverev's ability to neutralize Shelton's powerful shots was key, with Shelton managing only one break of serve throughout the match. Andy Roddick praised Zverev’s strategy, emphasizing his tactical approach to pressure Shelton's weaker backhand. Shelton, aiming to be the first American man to win a Grand Slam singles title since Roddick in 2003, has now reached a career-high ranking of fourth in the world.
