US Open: Top seed Alexander Zverev ends Ben Shelton’s run and American dreams to claim title in four sets

Top-seeded Alexander Zverev defeated American eighth seed Ben Shelton 6-3, 7-6 (7-2), 5-7, 6-2 in the US Open final at Flushing Meadows on Sunday to claim his maiden US Open title. The victory adds to his French Open crown won earlier in 2025, making Zverev a two-time Grand Slam champion. The match ended in bizarre fashion, with Zverev initially unaware he had won after Shelton's return sailed long on match point.
