Elena Rybakina defeated Qinwen Zheng 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 — US Open 2026 Quarterfinal.
Qinwen Zheng and Elena Rybakina: Elena Rybakina leads 4–0 across 4 recorded meetings.
The only break of the third set landed in game 9, for 5-4, and Rybakina built it where the afternoon had been quietly sorting itself out — behind the second serve, 65 percent of those points to her against 47 for Zheng. The turn came a set earlier. Breaks in game 2 for 2-0 and game 6 for 5-1 held Zheng to a single winner for the second set, after she had struck 10 in an opener that was the first set the second seed had dropped all fortnight. Zheng, the WTA No. 121 who had beaten Swiatek in the fourth round, falls to 0-3 in meetings on record, the last two also lost from a set up. Two hours and 14 minutes, and Rybakina is into the semifinals.
