Ben Shelton is going to the US Open final. The eighth seed came back from a set down to dismantle fellow American Frances Tiafoe in four sets on Arthur Ashe, delivering a performance that had that crowd absolutely electric. Shelton now faces top seed Alexander Zverev on Sunday for his first ever Grand Slam title.
Speaking of Grand Slam glory, Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid are writing their names into wheelchair tennis history. The British duo came back from a set and a break down to claim their sixth US Open doubles title as a partnership, and their third consecutive Grand Slam crown. Five years since their last Flushing Meadows title, these two showed exactly why they are the gold standard in the game.
And a stunning retirement to process today — Connor Ingram is walking away from professional hockey at just twenty nine years old. No injury announced, no extended explanation, just a goaltender in the prime of his career stepping back from the sport.

That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
