Alexander Zverev and Ben Shelton face each other in the U.S. Open men’s singles final on Sunday, with both players looking for their first New York title. CBS Sports previews the match through the lens of betting markets and expert picks, while the New York Post also publishes a prediction and “best bet” for the final.
Across the coverage, the central focus is on how the matchup is expected to play out and what odds suggest about the likely winner. CBS Sports highlights predictions from tennis handicapper Jose Onorato, presenting a set of picks for the final. The New York Post likewise frames its outlook as a prediction that departs from a simplistic “tale of the tape,” but it does not shift away from the same basic contest: Zverev versus Shelton for the U.S. Open championship.
While the outlets differ in the specific betting angle and wording, they converge on the same event and contenders, and they treat the final as a competitive, title-defining match for both players.
