Alexander Zverev won his second major championship and kept American men without a Grand Slam title since 2003, beating Ben Shelton 6-3, 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-2 on Sunday in the US Open final.

Ben Shelton had already told the fans he was really going to need them.

Zverev, who finally broke his Major title duck at this year’s French Open, claimed that this time he was able to have “fun” on the big stage.
