It's Going To Be A War, Not Going To Take My Foot Off The Gas: Shelton On Zverev Showdown In US Open Final
American Frances Tiafoe: Ben Shelton, who is on the cusp of becoming the first American to clinch the US Open men’s singles title since 2003, reflected on his confidence and belief going into the final against top seed Alexander Zverev, stating that "it’s going to be a war" in the summit clash and he is "not going to take his foot off the gas."
The eighth seed American rallied past fellow American Frances Tiafoe 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 7-5 on Friday to reach his first major final in New York. No American man has won a Grand Slam singles title since Andy Roddick triumphed in Flushing Meadows in 2003.
Shelton will now have a chance to claim his maiden major crown and end a 23-year wait for American men’s tennis Sunday, when he takes on top seed Alexander Zverev for the title.
