Thecuy.com, New York – Ben Shelton earned his first Grand Slam final berth after outplaying Frances Tiafoe in the US Open semi‑finals, with the American player exiting the court in tears.
In a four‑set duel, Tiafoe won the opening set 6‑4, but Shelton turned the tide by capturing the next three sets 6‑3, 6‑3, 7‑5, completing a comeback that spanned just over three hours. Shelton’s aggressive serve and baseline play shifted momentum after the first set, while a decisive double fault by Tiafoe sealed the match.
After the defeat, Tiafoe was seen shielding his face with a towel as he made his way through the players’ tunnel, a stark contrast to the jubilant atmosphere at Arthur Ashe Stadium. His tearful departure underscored the disappointment of a third US Open semi‑final loss for the 28‑year‑old.
Speaking after the match, Shelton said that the crowd of famous fans—including Spike Lee, Rami Malek, Kevin Hart and Russell Wilson—made it hard to stay focused. “Having so many well‑known people watching is thrilling, but staying composed for three hours isn’t simple,” he noted.
Shelton also expressed gratitude to his family, acknowledging his parents’ encouragement and dedicating his success to his late grandmother, whose guidance he credited as essential to his professional journey.
Thanks to his victory, Shelton will now meet Germany’s Alexander Zverev in the championship match, giving the United States an opportunity to break a 23‑year stretch without a Grand Slam title for its male players. A win would also make Shelton the first Black American man to reach the US Open final since Arthur Ashe in 1972.
- Final result: 4‑6, 6‑3, 6‑3, 7‑5
- Length of match: about 3 hours 17 minutes
- Critical moment: Tiafoe’s double fault in the fourth set
