This was an all-American matchup. Shelton reached his first major tennis final.

He will face top-seeded Alexander Zverev in Sunday's final. Zverev won the French Open this year.

He is considered the favorite. Zverev holds a 5-0 record against Shelton.

Shelton reached the semifinal by beating defending champion Carlos Alcaraz. Alcaraz was the No.

2 seed. That quarterfinal match ended at 3:33 a.m.

Wednesday. No American man has won a major since 2003.

Andy Roddick won that year's US Open. A Shelton win would end a 23-year drought for American men.
