The Kazakh player beat Aryna Sabalenka 6-4 5-7 6-2 in the final to claim her third Grand Slam title and take the world No. 1 ranking. She had aggravated a foot injury in Cincinnati and did no on-court training in the week before the tournament began.
Shelton recovered from a set down to win 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 7-5 in an all-American semifinal lasting over three hours. He faces top seed Alexander Zverev for the title.
The five-set win ends Alcaraz's 18-match Grand Slam winning streak and sets up an all-American semi-final against Frances Tiafoe. A US man hasn't won a major since Andy Roddick in 2003.
The former world number four, returning from elbow surgery as a qualifier, is the first player to reach the women's fourth round that way since Emma Raducanu won the title in 2021.
Frances Tiafoe and Alex Michelsen will meet in an all-American quarterfinal, with one guaranteed to reach the last four. Ben Shelton faces defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, who has beaten him in all three previous meetings.
