Who won the men’s singles title at the 2026 US Open tennis tournament?
Answer
Alexander Zverev
Alexander Zverev won the men’s singles title at the 2026 US Open tennis tournament.
Zverev defeated American Ben Shelton in the final to claim his second Grand Slam singles championship. The German won the match 6–3, 7–6(2), 5–7, 6–2, finishing the contest in four sets.
The victory was especially significant because Zverev had previously lost the 2020 US Open final after holding a two-set lead against Dominic Thiem. His 2026 triumph gave him a second major title after his French Open success earlier in the season.
Shelton’s appearance made him the 13th American man to reach the US Open singles final during the Open Era. Zverev’s win therefore prevented the United States from ending its long wait for an American men’s singles champion.
