Alexander Zverev secured his second career Grand Slam title by defeating Ben Shelton in the US Open final. The German player triumphed in four sets with a scoreline of 6-3, 7-6(2), 5-7, 6-2 on Sunday.
Zverev entered the tournament as the No. 1 seed for the first time in a major championship.
He capitalized on a nervous start from Shelton, who was playing in his maiden major final. The champion previously broke through on the biggest stage earlier this year by winning the French Open.
This victory in New York added another major trophy to his resume at the same venue where he suffered a painful defeat in the 2020 final. Zverev successfully weathered a late surge from the American contender, who had strong crowd backing throughout the match.
