Alexander Zverev has won the 2026 US Open (held at Flushing Meadows, New York), defeating American Ben Shelton 4–3, 7–6, 5–7, 6–2 to claim his second Grand Slam title of the year, having already won the French Open in Paris three months earlier. The German, 29, becomes the most consistent alternative to Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz on the men's tour, and follows compatriot Boris Becker as only the second German man to win in New York. The victory also extends the United States' drought in its own major to 23 years, with Shelton unable to end a run of home frustration that stretches back to Andy Roddick's last title in 2003.
