Potapova saved 13 of 16 break points and Zheng erased a 0-5 deficit in the deciding set to reach the fourth round.

  • On Saturday, American contenders Amanda Anisimova and Madison Keys were eliminated in the third round of the US Open in New York, marking early exits for both home favorites at Flushing Meadows.
  • Anastasia Potapova defeated Anisimova 6-2, 7-5, exploiting the 25-year-old's 46 unforced errors and missed break opportunities to advance to the fourth round for the first time.
  • Rallying from a 5-0 deficit in the deciding set, Qinwen Zheng defeated Madison Keys 1-6, 7-6, 7-5, reeling off seven consecutive games to complete the extraordinary turnaround.
  • Reflecting on her recovery, Zheng said, "I always believe, especially when I was down 4-5, it was a very tough game, and in that moment, I showed no emotion because I know it's never the end until the end."
  • Potapova will next face either Mirra Andreeva or Nikola Bartunkova, while Zheng awaits the winner of the Iga Swiatek and Marie Bouzkova match in the fourth round.
