“I think God has seen how hard we worked, how much we suffered, how much pain we went through and I think 2026 is the outcome of all the years that happened before.” — Alexander Zverev | Quote of the Day
Alexander Zverev, the German world No. 2 who beat Ben Shelton 6-3, 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-2 on September 13, 2026 to win the US Open — his second Grand Slam title of the year after the French Open in June, six years after he was two points from this same trophy and lost, and four years after an ankle injury nearly ended his career — on the sentence he gave his team at the trophy presentation: 2026 is the outcome of all the years that came before.
