How Zverev won the 2026 US Open
Zverev was the top seed, and the first week nearly ended his run twice. He needed five sets against Lorenzo Sonego in the first round, 6-4, 3-6, 6-7, 7-5, 6-4, and five more against Quentin Halys in the second, winning the last set 6-3.
After that he dropped one set in five matches, the third set of the final. He beat the 25th seed Alejandro Tabilo, the 21st seed Luciano Darderi, Botic Van De Zandschulp 6-2, 7-5, 6-1 in the quarterfinal and Karen Khachanov 6-3, 7-6, 7-6 in the semifinal.
It is his first US Open title in the record below. His only earlier final in that span was 2020, when he won the first two sets against Dominic Thiem and lost 2-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (8-6). In 2026 he also won Roland Garros and lost the Wimbledon final to Jannik Sinner.
Shelton’s route to the final
Shelton, the eighth seed, needed five sets and a deciding tiebreak to reach the semifinal. He beat the second seed Carlos Alcaraz 6-7, 6-1, 6-3, 1-6, 7-6 in the quarterfinal, taking the deciding tiebreak 10-7.
He then beat Frances Tiafoe 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 7-5 in an all-American semifinal. Tiafoe, the 11th seed, had come from two sets down against Alex Michelsen in the quarterfinal. Khachanov reached the other semifinal when the 28th seed Alexander Blockx retired in the third set.
The ATP rankings going into 2027
These are the ESPN rankings, last updated on September 17, 2026.
| Rank | Player | Country | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jannik Sinner | Italy | 11,500 |
| 2 | Alexander Zverev | Germany | 9,690 |
| 3 | Carlos Alcaraz | Spain | 5,560 |
| 4 | Ben Shelton | USA | 4,680 |
| 5 | Felix Auger-Aliassime | Canada | 3,890 |
| 6 | Daniil Medvedev | Russia | 3,770 |
| 7 | Flavio Cobolli | Italy | 3,720 |
| 8 | Frances Tiafoe | USA | 3,380 |
| 9 | Alex de Minaur | Australia | 3,300 |
| 10 | Taylor Fritz | USA | 3,175 |
Sinner still leads Zverev by 1,810 points, even after Zverev won two of the year’s four majors. The gap to third is the story: Alcaraz, who won the 2026 Australian Open, sits 4,130 points behind Zverev. Three Americans are in the top ten.
2027 US Open men’s odds
No price is posted, so this page names none. ESPN, which carries the tour scores, lists no tennis futures for the 2026 or 2027 seasons, and its tennis scoreboards carry no match odds.
When a board opens, turn each price into a chance first. A price of +250 implies 28.6%. A price of +800 implies 11.1%. A futures bet is worth making only when you rate the player’s chance higher than the price does, and nobody can rate next summer’s form in September.
