The top-seeded German faced a determined Shelton, who was on the brink of making history as the first American man to win a Grand Slam title since 2003. With the crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium rallying behind him, Shelton gained momentum in the third set, marking his first break of the match. However, Zverev’s tactical prowess ultimately prevailed.
Despite a brief setback, Zverev responded strongly in the fourth set, breaking Shelton’s serve early and maintaining control through to the end. As the match concluded, Zverev raised his arms in celebration, finally receiving cheers from the audience as Shelton’s final return sailed long.
