Ben Shelton has secured his spot in the U.S. Open men's singles final, positioning himself to potentially end a 23-year drought for American men in Grand Slam tournaments.
Shelton defeated fellow American Frances Tiafoe in the semifinal with a final score of 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 7-5. The victory marks Shelton's first Grand Slam final appearance of his career. He is set to face the No. 1 seed, Alexander Zverev, in the championship match on Sunday in Queens.
The U.S. Open men's singles final will feature an American contender for the first time in over two decades, with Shelton carrying the hopes of breaking the extended Grand Slam title drought.
