British pair Skupski and Harrison claim the men's doubles title at the US Open, saving a championship point to beat Puetz and Krawietz in a deciding-set tiebreak. Townsend and Siniakova complete the women’s doubles career slam with a straight-sets win, while Siniakova becomes a perennial year-end No. 1 in doubles with more titles.
Alexander Zverev has won his second major, defeating Ben Shelton 6-3, 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-2 in New York. The German adds the US Open crown to his French Open triumph, keeping American men without a Grand Slam since 2003. Shelton, aiming to be the first Black American man to win the US Open since 1968, falls short in a dramatic final.
