Alexander Zverev won his second major championship and kept American men without a Grand Slam title since 2003, beating Ben Shelton 6-3, 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-2 on Sunday in the U.S. Open final. Zverev finally broke through in the majors by winning this year’s French Open and followed up by adding the title in New York that he so painfully let slip away in 2020. The No. 1 seed in a Grand Slam for the first time, he capitalized on Shelton’s shaky start in his first major final. Shelton was trying to win the first title by an American man since Andy Roddick won in Flushing Meadows.

Trinity Rodman made it from the soccer pitch to the tennis court in time to watch boyfriend Ben Shelton in the U.S. Open final. Shelton had to begin his first attempt to win a Grand Slam title without Rodman in the stands. She was busy with her own career, playing for the Washington Spirit of the NWSL on Sunday. Rodman, a star for the U.S. women’s national team, was with the Spirit for their 3-0 loss at home to Boston Legacy FC. But she arrived before the end of Shelton’s 6-3, 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-2 loss to Alexander Zverev, cheering and appearing to wipe away tears during the trophy ceremony.
