As for #Shelton who now has his first Major final under the belt, as well as his first victory against a top-10 player in Majors, this was a great tournament, a step forward in the right direction. The climb to the top typically includes these types of losses.
#USOpen

#Zverev breaks #Shelton serve twice in the fourth set to take the #USOpen title 6-3 7-6 5-7 6-2. It's the second Major title of his year and career. Oddly enough, he may have a shot at finishing the year number 1 depending on how Sinner performs the rest of 2026.

Shelton przedłuża finał US Open do czwartego seta

Das ist immer so ein bisschen das Problem, wenn die Matches lange gehen: Dann macht sich #Zverev s Grunderkrankung (Diabetes) eben doch bemerkbar. Ich hoffe, dass er nicht in den fünften Satz muss, denn dann macht #Shelton das Ding.

#USOpen

That 3rd set stops the consecutive streak of #Zverev at 12 sets in a row vs #Shelton
#USOpen

#Zverev takes a trip to #GagCity at 5-6 serving in the third, and that's enough for #Shelton to extend this match to a fourth set.
#USOpen

Triple set points #Shelton

Question mark on whether #Shelton would have gotten to that passing shot at 30-30 or not, had he not slipped. He prepared the point so well and would have had a break point had he won it.
Instead #Zverev holds, and it's 4-4.
#USOpen

#Shelton needs to find ways to approach the net, or force #Zverev into moving forward to the net. Baseline duels won't do the job for three sets in a row. It's not as if he is not getting chances to move forward.
Ben up 4-3 in the third.
#USOpen

The first 'almost' game for #Shelton on Zverev's serve since the match started.
Almost meaning.... not.
3-3 in the third set.
#USOpen

While the nearly 25,000 fans, who are really passionate supporters, would definitely give #Shelton much more of a boost. But apparently, the stands are filled with celebrities and wealthy people who just want to sit back and be entertained. #GoZverev !

Podwójny błąd Sheltona oddaje Zverevowi pierwszy set

https://news.uluru.space/article/22422?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=auto #Tenis #UsOpen #Zverev #Shelton

#Zverev now up 6-3 7-6.

It will take a monumental effort by #Shelton to overcome this. If he does, it would be his first Major title, his first comeback from two sets down, and surely many other intangibles...

#USOpen

Couple of well-played low volleys by #Shelton helps him hold serve on the crucial 10th game.

#Zverev holds routinely once more for his part and leads 6-5 in the second set.

Ben is looking uphill here, he has never come back from two sets down. He must hold serve & win the tiebreaker.
#USOpen

I like #Shelton, but the US crowd cheering when #Zverev misses a first serve is appalling. #USOpen
