Ben Shelton takes down Carlos Alcaraz to earn the biggest win of his career in latest US Open match ever

It may have happened during a quarter-final match, and it may have taken place while most of the country was asleep, but Ben Shelton officially became the face of American men's tennis on Wednesday morning at the US Open.

After four hours and 28 minutes of war, Shelton secured his victory over seven-time major champion Carlos Alcaraz 6-7 (5), 6-1, 6-3, 1-6, 7-6 (10-7) at 3:33 a.m. in New York, making it the longest match in the Grand Slam's history when the clock ticked past 2:50 a.m.
