Zheng Shocks Swiatek in US Open Upset | Jamaica News

Qinwen Zheng stunned tennis fans by defeating six-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek in the US Open round of 16 — a monumental upset for the qualifier ranked 121st after elbow surgery. Down 5-0 in the first set, Zheng rallied with seven straight games, then broke Swiatek twice in the second to seal the win. Despite early nerves in the massive stadium, she found her rhythm and played point by point. This victory marks her first win over a top-ten player in years and makes her the first qualifier since Emma Raducanu to reach the fourth round. Now facing either Elena Rybakina or Naomi Osaka in the quarters, Zheng’s momentum is undeniable — a gritty, inspiring run that proves resilience can rewrite history.
