亚历山大·兹维列夫直落四盘击败本·谢尔顿，于周日夺得美网男单冠军。这是这位德国选手今年在法网实现突破后斩获的第二座大满贯冠军。
作为职业生涯首次以头号种子身份出战大满贯赛事，兹维列夫凭借谢尔顿开局阶段的失误占据主动，发球局抢七几乎零失误，并最终顶住了谢尔顿的反扑，以6-3、7-6(2)、5-7、6-2的比分获胜。现场观众全程为这位美国选手加油助威。
在半决赛惊险击败同胞弗朗西斯·蒂亚弗后，谢尔顿本有望成为自2003年安迪·罗迪克夺得美网冠军以来，首位斩获大满贯冠军的美国男子选手。他也是自1972年阿瑟·阿什之后，首位闯入美网男单决赛的非裔美国男子选手。
“你是世界上最顶尖的选手之一，或许是今年世界上最棒的球员，”颁奖仪式上谢尔顿对兹维列夫说道。
但兹维列夫今年在大满贯赛事中表现太过出色，甚至他自己都未曾意识到自己有多强。他在自己的发球局拿下比赛胜点时，似乎并未反应过来，退回到底线后方仿佛准备继续接球。过了片刻他才反应过来自己已经获胜，举起双臂庆祝。
“我知道今天99.9%的观众都希望本能赢，首先我深表歉意，”颁奖仪式上兹维列夫说道，“但其次，能在这样绝佳的氛围中比赛真的太棒了。尽管我知道观众都站在我的对立面，但他们始终展现出了极高的体育精神。”
兹维列夫今年大满贯赛事战绩提升至25胜2负，周日斩获550万美元奖金，与周六夺冠的女单冠军叶莲娜·莱巴金娜一同刷新了大满贯历史上单赛事奖金最高纪录。
他原本以为这座冠军会在2020年到手，至今仍认为本应在那时拿下。当时他在对阵多米尼克·蒂姆的决赛中先赢两盘，距离胜利仅差两分，最终却成为1949年以来首位在大满贯决赛中丢掉两盘领先优势输掉比赛的男子选手。
如今那些旧怨早已烟消云散。
兹维列夫今年还闯入了温网决赛，最终不敌扬尼克·辛纳。由于时任世界第一的辛纳因膝伤退赛，他得以以头号种子身份征战纽约美网。
“我想上帝见证了我们付出的努力、经历的煎熬和承受的痛苦，我认为2026年是此前所有岁月的回报，”兹维列夫在向自己的团队致辞时说道。
谢尔顿此前在八强赛中五盘击败卫冕冠军卡洛斯·阿尔卡拉斯，比赛于凌晨3点33分结束，创下美网历史上最晚完赛纪录。
但周日他未能如愿成为自1975年以来，首位在美网夺冠路上接连击败头号和二号种子的选手。
这位8号种子对阵兹维列夫的战绩定格为0胜6负，周日仅赢下一盘，也是两人交手以来的第二次。
这位23岁的谢尔顿未来还有更多机会，但早已厌倦等待男子网球冠军诞生的美国球迷，此刻迫切希望能够见证本土选手夺冠。
赛前谢尔顿从球员通道出场时，全场观众起立欢呼，但比赛开始后他没能让球迷的热情延续下去。首个发球局中，他先丢两分，最终因双误将发球局拱手相让。
兹维列夫守住了这一领先优势，首盘最后时刻谢尔顿再次双误，输掉首盘。
兹维列夫沉稳的打法限制了现场观众的助威效果。按照网球赛事惯例，球员发球时观众应保持安静，直至这一分结束。
兹维列夫在抛球发球前会多次拍球——有时拍10次左右，有时12次，偶尔甚至接近20次，他称自己并没有固定的节奏或计划——这无疑会让现场长时间保持安静。
观众试图通过在他一发失误时欢呼来打破沉寂——这是网球赛场的大忌，主裁判也对他们进行了警告——但赛前曾表示自己享受敌对观众氛围的兹维列夫似乎并未受到影响。
随后兹维列夫在关键的抢七局中再次顶住谢尔顿的反扑。
谢尔顿回球出界，被一记精彩的穿越球得分，随后在16拍的多拍回合中再度失分，兹维列夫很快以3-0领先。兹维列夫随后发出时速147英里和124英里的发球，谢尔顿均未能回球入局。谢尔顿将比分追至5-2，并首次成功将回球打入赛场，但兹维列夫拿下这一分，随后又以139英里的发球锁定胜局。
Alexander Zverev wins U.S. Open, beating Ben Shelton to secure second major title

Alexander Zverev dispatched Ben Shelton in four sets to win the U.S. Open men’s singles title on Sunday, the second Grand Slam win for the German after he finally broke through at the French Open earlier this year.
The No. 1 seed in a Grand Slam for the first time, Zverev capitalized on Shelton’s shaky start in his first major final, played a nearly flawless tiebreaker on serve and then turned back Shelton’s comeback attempt to win 6-3, 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-2 in front of a crowd that desperately cheered the American on.
After taking down his fellow countryman Francis Tiafoe in a thrilling semifinal, Shelton was aiming to become the first American man to win a major since Andy Roddick’s U.S. Open victory in 2003. Shelton was also the first Black American man to make it to a U.S. Open final since Arthur Ashe in 1972.
“You’re one of the very best players in the world, maybe the best player in the world this year,” Shelton told Zverev during the trophy ceremony.
But Zverev was too good in majors this year and apparently didn’t even know how good he was. He finished the match on his serve but didn’t seem to realize it, dropping back behind the baseline as if set to return. Only a few moments later did he figure out he had won, raising his arms in celebration.

“I know today 99.9% of the people wanted Ben to win, so I’m very sorry, first of all,” Zverev said during the trophy presentation. “But second, it was an incredible atmosphere to play in. Even though I know that the crowd was against me, the crowd was always incredibly fair.”
Zverev improved to 25-2 in major matches this year and won $5.5 million on Sunday, matching the prize earned by women’s champion Elena Rybakina on Saturday as the largest in Grand Slam history.
He thought this title would come in 2020 and still acknowledges it should have. He won the first two sets against Dominic Thiem and got within two points of victory before becoming the first man to blow a two-set lead and lose in the final since 1949.
Whatever ghosts were left from then are long gone now.
Zverev also reached the final at Wimbledon, falling to Jannik Sinner, and became the No. 1 seed in New York when the top-ranked Sinner had to withdraw with a knee injury.
“I think God has seen how hard we worked, how much we suffered, how much pain we went through and I think 2026 is the outcome of all the years that happened before,” Zverev said, addressing his team.
Shelton had already eliminated the defending champion when he beat Carlos Alcaraz in a five-set quarterfinal that ended at 3:33 a.m., the latest finish in U.S. Open history.
But he fell short on Sunday in his attempt to become the first man to beat the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds en route to the U.S. Open title since 1975.
The No. 8 seed fell to 0-6 against Zverev, winning a set Sunday for only the second time.
The 23-year-old Shelton figures to get more chances, but Americans who have grown tired of waiting to celebrate a men’s title wanted it now.
Fans stood and screamed when Shelton emerged from the tunnel before the match, but he didn’t give them any reason to keep the cheers going once play began. Serving first, he lost the opening two points and then eventually handed the game to Zverev with a double fault.
Zverev maintained that lead the rest of the set, which ended on another double-fault by Shelton.
Zverev’s deliberate playing style helped limit the crowd’s effectiveness. Fans are expected to quiet down as a player is preparing to serve and stay quiet until the ensuing point has been completed.
Zverev bounces the ball a number of times — sometimes around 10, maybe a dozen, others nearly 20, insisting there is no set pattern or plan — before he begins his toss, so it guarantees lengthy stretches of silence.
Fans tried to get around that by occasionally cheering when he missed a first serve — another tennis no-no that the chair umpire scolded them for — but Zverev, who said before the match he enjoyed hostile crowds, did not seem affected.
Zverev then turned back Shelton’s chance to even the match in the tiebreaker.
Shelton returned Zverev’s opening serve long, was beaten by a superb passing shot and then came up on the wrong end of a 16-shot rally as Zverev went up 3-0. Zverev then hit serves of 147 mph and 124 mph that Shelton couldn’t get back in play. Shelton cut it to 5-2 and then got a return in play for the only time, but Zverev won the point and then hit another serve at 139 mph to close it out.
