EPIC UPSET: Shelton Shocks Alcaraz in Latest-Ever Match, Reaches US Open Semis at 3:34 AM...

Ben Shelton pulled off the biggest win of his career early Wednesday morning, defeating defending champion Carlos Alcaraz 6-7, 6-1, 6-3, 1-6, 7-6 in a five-set quarter-final that finished at 3:34 AM—the latest-ever finish in US Open history. The match lasted four hours and 28 minutes on Arthur Ashe Stadium, with Shelton overcoming a player who had won 28 of his previous 31 matches at Flushing Meadows. Shelton had lost all three previous meetings against Alcaraz and never beaten a top-three player before, but his performance sets up an all-American semi-final against Frances Tiafoe on Friday and raises the prospect of America's first men's singles champion at the US Open since 2003.
