Shelton’s Late-Night U.S. Open Upset | California News

Ben Shelton stunned the tennis world by defeating reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz in a brutal, four-hour U.S. Open final that ended at 3:33 AM — the latest finish in tournament history. Shelton called it a “war” and his most thrilling match ever, while Alcaraz, battling wrist pain and even vomiting before the final set, left happy and healthy despite wanting victory. The roaring crowd chanted “USA! USA!” throughout the marathon, fueling Shelton’s momentum. Meanwhile, Frances Tiafoe also punched his ticket to the semis with a comeback win over Alex Michelsen, returning to the top ten for the first time in three years. With both Americans advancing, the U.S. guarantees its first men’s final since Andy Roddick’s 2003 triumph — a historic moment powered by grit, drama, and home-court energy.
