The 2026 US Open will soon come to a close, but not without a thrilling men’s final between Ben Shelton and Alexander Zverev on Sunday.
Ben Shelton is heading into his first-ever US Open final, and the 23-year-old has definitely earned his way. Shelton battled through each round of the tournament, even defeating global star Carlos Alcaraz in a tiebreaker fifth set during the quarterfinals. He then knocked off long time friend Frances Tiafoe to secure a spot in the final.
With more high-stakes experience, Zverev might have a bit of an edge in this matchup. Across five previous meetings between the two, Zverev has won every single one. He’s also been peaking at an opportune time in the US Open, winning his last four matches without dropping a single set.
