Alexander Zverev Claims US Open Title Against Ben Shelton

Alexander Zverev triumphed over Ben Shelton in the US Open final held in New York, winning with scores of 6-3, 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-2. This victory marks Zverev's second major title, following his win at the French Open earlier this year.

In the match, Zverev capitalized on Shelton's slow start, maintaining control throughout the first set and executing a strong tiebreaker. Despite Shelton's efforts to mount a comeback, Zverev's performance proved too strong. This match was significant for Shelton, who aimed to become the first American man to win a Grand Slam title since 2003.

Zverev's win improved his record to 25-2 in major matches this year, and he earned a prize of $5.5 million, matching the largest payout in Grand Slam history. Shelton, the No. 8 seed, had previously eliminated the defending champion but was unable to secure a victory against Zverev, who has now defeated him in all six encounters.
