Alexander Zverev beat Ben Shelton 6-3, 7-6, 5-7, 6-2 to win the U.S. Open men's title. [1] It is his first U.S. Open and his second major of the year. Saturday this paper printed Rybakina's third major. Sunday the men's file closed. A second Slam is not a ranking rewrite. Print the four-set title. Leave a season rewrite to the ranking sheet.

A first U.S. Open is still a first U.S. Open. Shelton's four-set loss is Sunday's American remainder, not a drought the ranking sheet will rewrite tonight. Print the score. Do not print a season.
Sunday owns the final. Recap that pretends the trophy is still being handed over is a feed, not Reuters.
No second trophy is in Sunday's New York copy.
