Shelton: the underdog...with the home crowd

Ben Shelton is another player similar to Zverev who has spent his career previously doing well, with the occasional quarter final here and there, but no further...until now.

The American has reached his first Grand Slam final very convincingly - aside from a thrilling fifth set tiebreaker against Alcaraz - which could be a sign of things to come in the future.

Aged just 23, compared to Zverev's 29, he has youth on his side and also the home crowd who will be cheering on the Atlanta-born youngster. It would be a long shot, but could we see the first American to win a US Open since Andy Roddick in 2003?

Zverev's 2026

So, how do the two finalists this year stack up?

2026 has been Zverev's year. Having previously been a bridesmaid but never a bride, the last few months has seen this all change. Mainly due to the absence of Sinner, Alcaraz and Djokovic not being in form recently, he's emerged as the one to beat.

Having won his first Grand Slam with the French Open earlier this year he has got a taste for finals. While he lost to Sinner a month later at Wimbledon, he's back with a vengeance in New York.

The smart money would be on the German to triumph with his track record this year and as the world number one...but will he manage to claim his second Grand Slam under the lights at Flushing Meadows?

Keep tuned to find out...
