  "summary": "Alexander Zverev secured the U.S. Open men's singles title by defeating Ben Shelton in four sets, marking his second Grand Slam victory. The 1 seed claimed the win with a score of 6-3, 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-2, showcasing a dominant performance that capitalized on Shelton's shaky start in his first major final. Shelton, the first Black American man to reach a U.S. Open final since Arthur Ashe in 1972, had aimed to become the first American man to win a major since Andy Roddick in 2003. Despite his efforts, Zverev's superior skills in majors were evident, as he finished the match on his serve without fully realizing his victory, only raising his arms in celebration moments later.",
