Qinwen Zheng Overcomes Iga Swiatek to Reach US Open 2026 Quarterfinals
At the 2026 US Open, qualifier and Olympic gold medalist Qinwen Zheng staged a remarkable comeback from a 0-5 deficit in the first set to defeat eighth seed and 2022 champion Iga Swiatek 7-5, 6-3, reaching the quarterfinals. This marks Zheng's third US Open quarterfinal appearance and the first time a qualifier has advanced this far since Emma Raducanu in 2021. Zheng will face either Naomi Osaka or Elena Rybakina next, while Swiatek exits before the last eight for the fourth consecutive year.
