Iga Świątek eliminated from US Open by Qinwen Zheng

Overview

Iga Świątek’s US Open run ended in the fourth round following a defeat to Qinwen Zheng. Zheng, a qualifier and 2024 Olympic gold medalist, won the match 7-5, 6-3 at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Despite an early 5-0 deficit in the first set, Zheng secured the victory to advance to the quarterfinals.

Zheng entered the tournament through the qualifiers following elbow surgery and a drop in ranking to 121. This victory followed a similar dramatic comeback in the third round against Madison Keys, where Zheng also recovered from a 0-5 deficit in the final set. Having won seven consecutive matches in New York, Zheng is scheduled to face the winner of the match between Elena Rybakina and Naomi Osaka.

Świątek, the eighth seed and former 2022 US Open champion, expressed frustration with the outcome. She noted that she began to commit too many errors as Zheng found her rhythm, stating there was ‘nothing special’ about the collapse and that losing a set from any score is part of the game. This loss follows Świątek’s previous third-round victory over Marie Bouzkova, which was decided by two tie-breaks. Following the match, Świątek pushed back against media narratives concerning her performance and emotional state.

This defeat marks the first time since 2021 that Świątek will finish a calendar year without winning a Grand Slam title.
