The top seed collected his second Grand Slam title of the year, doing so in dominant fashion over an emerging American star

Ben Shelton may have had “99.9%” of the U.S. Open crowd cheering for him, as opponent Alexander Zverev estimated.

Alexander Zverev won his second Grand Slam of the year, beating Ben Shelton for the US Open title.

Ben Shelton is chasing the first US Open title for an American since Roddick in 2003 and the first major for a Black American man since Ashe in 1975.

Minutos después, en la ceremonia del trofeo, un Shelton abatido se recompuso para sonreír y luego cautivar al público, agradeciendo a todos, desde, primero, Dios, hasta su familia y su equipo, y también a su chofer y “a los guardias de seguridad que me hacen sonreír todos los días”.

Frances Tiafoe played and lost his third US Open semi-final earlier this week, in a crushing end to a sensational run for the American.
