NGIn a dramatic upset at the US Open 2026, China's Qinwen Zheng defeated defending champion Iga Swiatek of Poland in a thrilling three-set match, overcoming a 5-0 deficit in both sets. This marks Zheng's seventh consecutive win at the tournament and her third appearance in the quarter-finals. The 23-year-old Chinese player, who has been recovering from elbow surgery, showcased resilience by winning seven of the next eight games after falling behind in the first set and breaking Swiatek twice in the second. Swiatek, the 2022 US Open champion, struggled to bounce back from the loss, which follows a challenging period where her rankings dipped below the top 100. Zheng now faces either Naomi Osaka or Elena Rybakina in the next round, while fellow Russian Mirra Andreeva also advanced to the quarter-finals after a come-from-behind victory.
