ONE WIN AWAY! Shelton OUTLASTS Tiafoe + Zverev's FLAWLESS Sweep for DESTINY FINAL | US Open 2026

Ben Shelton is one win away from ending a 23-year wait for an American man to win a Grand Slam singles title! The 23-year-old battled past Frances Tiafoe in an all-American US Open semi-final to reach his first major final. Join Joel and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ for our US Open Day 13 catch-up as we get stuck into Shelton’s comeback from a set down, his serving brilliance and what Tiafoe needs to do to finally reach his first Grand Slam final. Meanwhile, Alexander Zverev reached his third consecutive Grand Slam final with a straight-sets win over Karen Khachanov, but surprisingly low ticket prices for the match — less than the cost of a Honey Deuce! — raised questions about just how much star power Zverev actually brings to the court. We also debate Zverev’s extended ball-bouncing routine, with Khachanov clearly not impressed.

We preview the blockbuster Zverev vs Shelton final, including whether Zverev’s dominance against left-handers could prove crucial, how he’ll handle the all-American crowd and whether his 1-4 Grand Slam final record will count against him. Plus, we celebrate doubles legend Katerina Siniakova completing the career Grand Slam with two different partners — Taylor Townsend and Barbora Krejcikova — and discuss the all-important finals-weekend entertainment announcement… including JoJo!
