US Open: With Another Sensational Comeback, Qualifier Zheng Ousts No. 8 Swiatek
Arthur Ashe Stadium: China's reigning Olympic gold medallist Zheng Qinwen continued her magical comeback run at the women's singles section of the 2026 US Open, securing her place in the quarterfinal spot with a stunning victory over former World No.1 Iga Swiatek at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York on Monday.
Zheng, who had to rally from 0-5 down to take a set for the second time in three days, triumphed 7-5, 6-3 over No. 8 seed and 2022 US Open winner Iga Swiatek to script another memorable victory.
On Saturday, the 23-year-old Chinese player came back in the decider against Madison Keys, and now she repeated the feat in the opening set against Swiatek and closed out a straight-sets victory to reach the quarterfinals for the third time at the US Open.
