Verdict: Miss

Carlos Alcaraz gewann das Herren-Einzel der US Open 2026 nicht. Er scheiterte bereits im Viertelfinale an dem amerikanischen Spieler Ben Shelton (Ergebnis ca. 6-7, 6-1, 6-3, 1-6, 7-6 – spätestes Spiel in der US-Open-Geschichte laut CNN/NBC). Das Finale am 13. September 2026 bestritten Alexander Zverev und Ben Shelton; Zverev gewann 6-3, 7-6(2), 5-7, 6-2 und holte damit seinen zweiten Grand-Slam-Titel nach Roland Garros 2026 (Quellen: usopen.org offizielle Draw-PDF, CNN, USTA-Pressemitteilung). Das wahrscheinlichste Finale Alcaraz vs. Zverev trat nicht ein – stattdessen spielte der Top-Setzling Zverev gegen Shelton.

Since Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) already secured the 2026 World Championship in Mexico, the remaining battle is for 2nd in the standings between Verstappen, Russell, Hamilton and Leclerc (within ~9 points).
