Zheng stuns Swiatek to reach US Open quarter-finals, Zverev and Rybakina advance
Zheng Qinwen pulled off another US Open stunner Monday, beating Iga Swiatek to book a quarter final with Elena Rybakina as men's top seed Alexander Zverev advanced safely to the last eight.
Zheng Qinwen, a Chinese tennis player, has made a triumphant return to the US Open quarterfinals after a challenging period. The 23-year-old, who was once ranked as high as No. 4, had to qualify for the tournament, a process she acknowledged was mentally difficult due to her lack of recent success. She defeated No. 22 Madison Keys and No. 8 Iga Swiatek, both in comebacks from 5-0 deficits, to reach the quarterfinals. Zheng will face No. 2 seed Elena Rybakina, who will climb to No. 1 in the WTA rankings with a win.
