Frances Tiafoe vs Ben Shelton live streaming, TV channel, where & how to watch: US Open 2026
Ben Shelton is 3-1 up against Frances Tiafoe
Frances Tiafoe and Ben Shelton finally get their all-American Friday night, walking out at the Arthur Ashe Stadium for the US Open not before 7 pm (local time) with a maiden Grand Slam final up for grabs, and whoever goes all the way ends America’s 23-year wait for a men’s champion since Andy Roddick in 2003.
Both men are running on fumes after five-set quarter-finals. Shelton’s win over defending champion Carlos Alcaraz of Spain didn’t finish until 3:33 am, the latest finish in tournament history, and it snapped Alcaraz’s 12-match streak of five-set wins at the majors. Tiafoe trailed Michelsen by two sets and a break, saw his opponent hold a match point, and somehow fought back to win in five anyway.
Shelton leads their head-to-head 3-1, though Tiafoe has already shown he can take him the distance here.
