**An American has not won the US Open men's singles since Andy Roddick in 2003, and the 2026 draw leaves limited realistic paths despite strong domestic showings.** Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe reached the men's semifinals after Shelton upset defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in a five-set quarterfinal thriller, guaranteeing a U.S. finalist on the men's side. However, Alexander Zverev, the top seed and recent French Open champion, is the heavy favorite to advance from the other semifinal and claim the title. On the women's side, the final pits Aryna Sabalenka against Elena Rybakina with no Americans remaining after early exits for players like Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula. Trader consensus at 58% for No reflects Zverev's superior form, head-to-head edge, and the long U.S. men's drought outweighing Shelton and Tiafoe's home momentum and recent results.
