Alexander Zverev 2026 US Open Finals Match Worn Sneakers | Championship Run | Additionally Matched to Semifinal Match | Left Shoe Matched to Quarterfinal, Round of 16, Third Round, and Second Round Matches

Presented in this lot are Alexander Zverev match-worn sneakers from the 2026 US Open Men's Singles Final against Ben Shelton at Arthur Ashe Stadium on September 13, 2026.

Zverev defeated Shelton in four sets, 6-3, 7-6 (7-2), 5-7, 6-2, to capture his first US Open title and the second Grand Slam title of his career. The victory capped a remarkable season for the German star, who had also captured the French Open earlier in the year.

In one of the tournament's most memorable moments, Zverev was so focused on the match that he did not initially realize he had won when Shelton's final return sailed long. Reflecting afterward, Zverev told reporters, "I didn't hear noise at all. I was in this kind of tunnel where I just didn't hear anything."

In addition to the final, these sneakers have been photo-matched to multiple matches during Zverev's championship run at the 2026 US Open. The pair was worn during his semifinal victory over Karen Khachanov on September 11, 2026 at Arthur Ashe Stadium, where he prevailed 6-3, 7-6 (9-7), 7-6 (8-6) to advance to the final.

The left shoe has also been photo-matched to Zverev's quarterfinal victory over Botic van de Zandschulp on September 9, 2026, 6-2, 7-5, 6-1; his Round of 16 victory over Luciano Darderi on September 7, 2026, 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (7-3); his third-round win over Alejandro Tabilo on September 5, 2026, 6-2, 7-6 (7-2), 6-2; and his second-round victory over Quentin Halys on September 3, 2026, 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (7-3), 6-7 (3-7), 6-3.

The 2026 season marked a breakthrough for the German star, who captured his maiden Grand Slam title at Roland Garros before reaching the Wimbledon final and ultimately lifting the US Open trophy. By year's end, Zverev had established himself as one of the dominant players in men's tennis, compiling a 25-2 record across the four Grand Slam events and securing two major championships.

These sneakers were worn during the closing stages of Zverev's historic championship campaign, culminating in the match that secured the US Open title and the second Grand Slam victory of his career.

The sneakers was secured on-site and authenticated by a Sotheby’s representative immediately following the match.

The sneakers are photomatched by PSA.

Zverev wore multiple pairs of sneakers in the Final against Shelton and wore a different pair during the championship clinching point.
