Alexander Zverev and Ben Shelton set for US Open final

Alexander Zverev and Ben Shelton will face each other in the US Open men's singles final following their respective semifinal victories.

Zverev, the world number two and recent French Open champion, defeated Karen Khachanov in straight sets, 6-3, 7-6(7), 7-6(6). The German reached his third consecutive Grand Slam final, demonstrating significant composure during critical tie-breaks. This victory places him in contention for his second career Grand Slam title.

Ben Shelton secured his first Grand Slam final appearance by defeating compatriot Frances Tiafoe 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 7-5. Shelton, the 23-year-old, aims to become the first American man to win a Grand Slam singles title since Andy Roddick in 2003. His victory over Tiafoe also marked a historic moment as the first time two Black American men have met in a US Open semifinal.

The final is scheduled for Sunday at the Arthur Ashe Stadium.
