Alexander Zverev Claims Second Grand Slam Title at US Open 2026

Alexander Zverev won his second Grand Slam title by defeating Ben Shelton in the US Open final held in New York. The match concluded with a score of 6-3, 7-6 (7-2), 5-7, 6-2, as Zverev utilized his experience to overcome Shelton, who was aiming to become the first American man to win a major title since 2003.

Zverev, who had previously won his first major title at the French Open earlier this year, faced a challenging start to the season but capitalized on the absence of top competitors due to injuries. Despite a shaky beginning in the tournament, he improved significantly, not facing a top-20 opponent until the final.

In the match, Zverev took control early, breaking Shelton's serve in the first game. Although Shelton managed to apply pressure in the third set, Zverev quickly regained dominance in the fourth. Following the match, Zverev expressed gratitude to his team for their support throughout his journey, while Shelton's performance in reaching the final marked a significant milestone in his career.
