Ben Shelton Can Win His First Major and End a Lengthy American Drought vs Zverev in US Open Final
Shelton can end a 23-year American drought after a five-set win over Carlos Alcaraz and a four-hour, 28-minute semifinal, officials said.
- On Sunday, 1 seed Alexander Zverev faces 23-year-old Ben Shelton in the US Open final at Arthur Ashe Stadium, where Shelton aims to become the first American man to win the national championship in 23 years.
- Shelton reached the final after a grueling four-hour, 28-minute victory over Carlos Alcaraz, while Zverev enters his third Grand Slam final this year.
- Shelton's serve rivals the power Pete Sampras displayed as the American star winning the Open, as he famously attempted to hit 150 mph serves even at the very end of his five-set thriller.
- Ending a 23-year drought since Andy Roddick's 2003 victory would define Shelton's young career, and winning in New York would mark a significant milestone for the American.
- Fans at Arthur Ashe hope for a historic atmosphere reminiscent of Jimmy Connors' 1991 run, as this final represents a pivotal moment for men's tennis and the sport's emerging generation.
