Qinwen Zheng defeated Madison Keys 1-6, 7(7)-6(3), 7-5 — US Open 2026 R32.
Madison Keys and Qinwen Zheng: Qinwen Zheng leads 2–1 across 3 recorded meetings.
The 22nd seed came in a 60 percent favorite with the bookmakers, then led 4-0 in the deciding set and let all of it go. Keys finished with 32 unforced errors to 22 and won the total points count 97-96 anyway. Zheng, who had already taken their Miami meeting in March, saved the only match point she faced and broke for 6-5 in game 11, then served out a win that ran 2 hours and 26 minutes. The 23-year-old began the season at WTA No. 24 and arrived here ranked 121st; she has needed three sets in every round of this US Open, and the round of 16 is what it buys her.
