Zverev Wins the US Open and Ends Germany's Slam Drought Twice in One Season, Denying Shelton and America
Alexander Zverev didn't realize he had won the US Open until he looked at the scoreboard. After Ben Shelton's forehand return sailed long on Sunday, the German walked back to the baseline to keep playing, then froze, raised his arms and ran to embrace the man whose fairy tale he had just ended. The 6-3, 7-6(2), 5-7, 6-2 victory, sealed in three hours and 33 minutes, gave Zverev his second Grand Slam title of 2026 and of his career, six years after he lost the 2020 final on the same court from two sets up.
