How Zverev and Shelton emerged from 'Sincaraz' shadow
Alexander Zverev and Ben Shelton will reflect on their 2026 Grand Slam results with a sense of achievement - no matter what happens in the US Open men's final.
The US Open's men's final is drawing closer, and the most anticipated match is set to feature Ben Shelton against Alexander Zverev. Shelton, the favorite to win, is currently a +122 underdog, though this could be slightly optimistic. The match has drawn attention due to a 10-set winning streak by Zverev over Shelton, with the latter showing a declining performance in recent times.
Despite this, Shelton's aggressive, risk-taking approach could prove to be a game-changer against Zverev's superior serve and baseline mobility. The crowd is expected to give Shelton a significant advantage, making this match one of the most exciting and lopsided experiences in sports history.
