The verdict· graded 14 Sept

Alexander Zverev won the 2026 US Open men's singles title on 13 September, beating Ben Shelton in four sets in the final. (Corrected by the desk: the earlier text was an undecided draft written before the final was played.)

The claim was that Zverev would win the title. Reports of the final confirm he beat Ben Shelton to claim the US Open, which settles it as correct.
