Shelton Stuns Alcaraz in U.S. Open War | New York City News

Ben Shelton stunned the tennis world by defeating reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz in a five-set, four-hour marathon that ended at 3:33 AM — the latest finish in U.S. Open history. With a blistering 146 mph ace, Shelton broke Alcaraz’s 18-match Grand Slam winning streak and called it “the most enjoyable match of my career.” Fighting through fatigue and Alcaraz’s wrist injury, Shelton secured an American finalist spot — the first since Andy Roddick in 2003 — as fans roared “USA! USA!” in Arthur Ashe Stadium. Meanwhile, Frances Tiafoe battled back to reach his third U.S. Open semifinal, setting up an all-American showdown with Shelton and re-entering the top ten. The tournament’s drama continues to escalate as two Americans advance to the final four.
