Zheng Qinwen Shocks Swiatek at US Open with ANOTHER Incredible 5-0 Comeback!

In a truly sensational display of grit and talent, Zheng Qinwen has stunned the tennis world by defeating former champion Iga Swiatek at the US Open, securing her spot in the quarter-finals. What makes this victory even more remarkable is that Zheng, for the second successive match, fought back from a 5-0 deficit in a set to claim victory.

The 23-year-old Chinese sensation, who is the reigning Olympic champion and a former world number four, faced off against Poland's eighth seed Swiatek on Arthur Ashe Stadium. After falling 5-0 behind in the opening set, Zheng mounted an incredible comeback, winning 13 of the next 16 games.

She ultimately closed out the match with a dominant 7-5 6-3 victory.

This thrilling triumph follows a similar dramatic comeback in her third-round match against Madison Keys, where Zheng trailed 5-0 in the deciding set before winning seven successive games. Her journey to the quarter-finals has been nothing short of extraordinary, especially considering she dropped outside the world's top 100 earlier this year after recovering from elbow surgery in July 2025.

Zheng's powerful performance in New York, which includes coming through three rounds of qualifying, is set to propel her back towards the top 50 in the world rankings. “The more matches I play, the more rhythm I have on court,” Zheng shared.

People have asked me if I'm tired and when I arrived I was not tired at all. I felt really pumped for my match, trying to reach better levels here and enjoy this fantastic stadium.

Her path now leads to a highly anticipated quarter-final clash against second seed Elena Rybakina, who advanced after a swift win over Naomi Osaka.

Zheng Qinwen's incredible resilience and back-to-back 5-0 comebacks have cemented her as one of the most exciting stories of this year's US Open.
