3:33 AM MADNESS! Shelton DETHRONES Alcaraz + Tiafoe's EPIC win for All-American SEMI | US Open 2026

WHAT. A. DAY. Ben Shelton stunned defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in a four-and-a-half-hour US Open epic that finished at 3:33am — the latest finish in US Open history. Join Joel and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ for our US Open Day 10 catch-up as we relive one of the best days of tennis we’ve seen this season (second only to Australian Open men’s semi-finals day!). Is Ben Shelton now the favourite for the title? And did four-and-a-half months off the tennis court finally catch up with Carlos Alcaraz, or was it simply fifth-set nerves? Plus, Frances Tiafoe completed an incredible comeback from two sets and a break down against big-serving Alex Michelsen to book his place in a third US Open semi-final.

On the women’s side, Aryna Sabalenka survived a huge test against Linda Noskova to reach her sixth (!) consecutive US Open semi-final, reminding us all of her champion quality after a season where it’s been lacking a little too often. Was this exactly the type of win Sabalenka needed against the Wimbledon champion? Jessica Pegula battled past Emma Navarro to set up another Flushing Meadows encounter with Sabalenka, while we debated Wimbledon’s decision to crack down on influencers following the US Open chaos. Plus, we look ahead to Day 11 and make our predictions for Gauff vs Andreeva, Zverev vs van de Zandschulp and Zheng vs Rybakina — will Rybakina seize the World No. 1 ranking?
