New York witnessed a special moment on Wednesday as New Jersey's Michael Zheng claimed his first main-draw victory at the U.S. Open. Zheng, a former Columbia University star, battled against Hungary’s Fábián Marozsán in a thrilling three-set match at Court 10. The event was marked by a massive crowd and the enthusiastic support of Zheng's former college teammates, who donned Columbia blue and cheered the player on.
Zheng's dominant performance, marked by 33 winners to 17 unforced errors, saw him break serve in the first set and close out the match with a forehand winner to finish with a 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 score. This triumph marked Zheng's first main-draw win at the Grand Slam and brought him to No. 96 in the Live Rankings. The victory was a remembrance of their previous clash at the Cincinnati Open, where Zheng also emerged victorious.
Zheng will face China’s Yunchaokete Bu in the second round, a match scheduled for Court 12 later the same day.
