Ben Shelton, Alexander Zverev Set Up US Open 2026 Men’s Singles Final

The 2026 US Open men’s singles final is set, with American Ben Shelton and Germany’s Alexander Zverev securing their places in the title clash. Shelton produced another impressive performance after his sensational quarterfinal victory over Carlos Alcaraz, overcoming fellow American Frances Tiafoe 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 7-5 in the semifinals. The 23-year-old Shelton recovered strongly after losing the opening set and won the next three to seal his first Grand Slam final appearance. The match lasted more than three hours.

Top seed Alexander Zverev, meanwhile, defeated Karen Khachanov 6-3, 7-6(7), 7-6(6) to reach his second US Open final. The German, who lost the 2020 final to Dominic Thiem, secured his third consecutive Grand Slam final and will look to add the US Open title to his 2026 French Open triumph. The men’s singles final between Shelton and Zverev will be played on Sunday.
