The Mexican had scored her first ever Top 10 triumph with a gruelling 6-7(10), 7-6(3), 7-5 scoreboard to down No. 6 seed Keys.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Zarazua fell in six previous attempts against Top 10 talents, but secured a career-best result in three hours and 10 mins to book a Round 2 rumble with France\u2019s Diane Parry.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Zarazua, who trailed by a set and 3-0, is the first Mexican woman to defeat a Top 10 seed at a Grand Slam since Angelica Gavaldon took down Jana Novotna at the 1995 Australian Open.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Last year was the first time in the 27-year-old Mexican\u2019s career that she played in all four Grand Slam singles main draws. The two titles on her resume are both WTA 125s, a year ago in Charleston and, in 2023, Montevideo. Her career-high ranking is No. 51.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Mexican has never advanced past the second round. She\u2019ll have that chance when she meets Diane Parry, a 6-1, 6-0 winner over retiring Petra Kvitova.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In another action, Mirra Andreeva made an impressive return to competition on Monday night at the 2025 US Open, dismissing a wayward Alycia Parks under lights in Louis Armstrong Stadium.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Andreeva had played just one match since Wimbledon due to an ankle injury, while Parks had arrived in New York fresh off her run to last week\u2019s WTA Monterrey semifinals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Andreeva, however, played steady, tactically-astute tennis, breezing into Round 2 with a 6-0, 6-1 victory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Andreeva had played just one match since Wimbledon due to an ankle injury, while Parks had arrived in New York fresh off her run to last week\u2019s WTA Monterrey semifinals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier this year she won back-to-back WTA 1000 titles in Dubai and Indian Wells, and reached consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinals at Roland Garros and Wimbledon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
