Alexander Zverev discusses tactics after US Open final victory over Ben Shelton

Alexander Zverev captured his second Grand Slam title by defeating Ben Shelton 6-3, 7-6, 5-7, 6-2 in the US Open final at Arthur Ashe Stadium on September 10. Zverev highlighted a tactical mistake made by Carlos Alcaraz during his quarter-final loss to Shelton, suggesting that a less aggressive approach against Shelton would have been more effective. Shelton, who had upset Alcaraz, struggled to find his rhythm in the final as Zverev controlled the match. Zverev is now positioned to vie for the world number one ranking, sitting less than 2,000 points behind Jannik Sinner.
