Alexander Zverev has won the 2026 US Open, securing the second Grand Slam title of his career at the 146th edition of the tournament in New York. The victory adds another major title to the German player’s record and closes his championship run with the US Open trophy in hand.

Following the win, Zverev accepted the trophy wearing Jacob & Co.’s The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone Tourbillon. The watch accompanied his first appearance as the newly crowned 2026 US Open champion, as he lifted the trophy in New York following his victory. With its distinctive dual time zone display, central tourbillon and compass rose motif, the piece became part of the closing image of Zverev’s championship run. The German player wore the model specifically for the trophy presentation, bringing his role as a Jacob & Co. ambassador into one of the defining public moments of his second Grand Slam victory.
Zverev secured the title against American Ben Shelton at Arthur Ashe Stadium, returning to the US Open final six years after his 2020 defeat to Dominic Thiem. This time, he left New York with the trophy and completed one of the most significant victories of his career.
The US Open also caps a major season for Zverev, who won Roland Garros earlier in 2026 to claim his first Grand Slam title. His run in New York took him to another major final and confirmed the momentum he carried through the season.
The semifinal victory over Karen Khachanov sent Zverev into his second US Open final, setting up the championship match against Shelton. The victory completed a run that brought him back to the same stage where he had fallen short in 2020.
The result gives Zverev a very different ending from his previous US Open final and adds New York to a 2026 season already defined by his Roland Garros victory. He leaves the tournament with two Grand Slam titles secured in the same year, while the trophy presentation also marked a major moment in his role as a Jacob & Co. brand ambassador.
