Alexander Zverev dashed Ben Shelton’s hopes of becoming the first American to win a Grand Slam title since 2003 on Sunday, when the German star won his first U.S. Open in just four sets (6-3, 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-2).
The victory capped an impressive 2026 for the 29-year-old Zverev, who also won the French Open in June and made it to the final at Wimbledon in July.
