Coco Gauff and Elena Rybakina reach the US Open quarterfinals, and Alexander Zverev also advances in the men’s draw as Zheng Qinwen shocks Iga Swiatek. Zheng overcomes a large deficit to defeat the six-time Grand Slam champion, while Gauff and Rybakina win their respective matches to secure places in the last eight.
Both outlets report that Zheng’s win comes after an exceptional fightback, described in one account as a 5-0 comeback. Al Jazeera and Cyprus Mail both highlight the magnitude of the upset and Zheng’s ability to overturn the match situation against a leading player. The reports also note that Zverev defeats Luciano Darderi, with one outlet giving the set scores as 6-2, 6-2 and 7-6(3), suggesting the match becomes tighter in the third set before he seals victory.
Overall, the two sources align on the main results: Zheng eliminates Swiatek, Gauff and Rybakina progress to the quarters, and Zverev advances in the men’s singles, setting up the next round of matches.
