Zheng Qinwen pulled off a remarkable comeback at the U.S. Open, defeating Madison Keys after being down and nearly out. Zheng, an Olympic gold medalist, won the last seven games to secure a 1-6, 7-6 (3), 7-5 victory. Keys, who had a strong start, struggled to maintain her lead and expressed frustration with her performance. In another upset, Taylor Fritz lost to Francisco Cerundolo after leading by two sets. Amanda Anisimova and Flavio Cobolli, both top seeds, were also eliminated. Zheng, who has faced challenges due to elbow surgery, will face Iga Swiatek next.
