Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen produced one of the most dramatic results in recent Grand Slam history, rallying from 5-0 and match point down in the third set to defeat 22nd-seeded Madison Keys 1-6 7-6 (7-3) 7-5 in New York.
A Historic Comeback in New York
Zheng Qinwen, the 2024 Olympic champion, overcame a devastating deficit to claim a remarkable victory over Madison Keys in the third round of the US Open. The match, described as very dramatic, saw Zheng hold firm after falling behind 5-0 and facing match point in the third set.
The final score of 1-6 7-6 (7-3) 7-5 marked a stunning turnaround, with Zheng reeling off seven consecutive games to secure the win. Keys, the 22nd seed and 2025 Australian Open champion, appeared to be cruising before Zheng rallied to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
Overcoming Injury and Ranking Setbacks
Zheng's path to the main draw was fraught with challenges, including elbow surgery in July 2025 that caused her ranking to drop as low as 160. She had to contest a Grand Slam qualifying event for the first time in four years, a difficult experience she admitted left her questioning her ability to compete at the highest level.
After the surgery, Zheng felt she had lost her energy and forgot how to compete, but she gradually rebuilt her form. She reached the fourth round, becoming the first qualifier to do so since Emma Raducanu in 2021, showcasing her resilience and determination to return to the top of tennis.
Zheng Reflects on Her Journey
In post-match interviews, Zheng expressed relief and gratitude, saying, 'Finally, a bit of luck is on my side.' She acknowledged the rollercoaster nature of tennis, noting that many players face match points but ultimately make comebacks.
Zheng also shared her emotional journey, revealing she was even crying after qualifying for the main draw. She emphasized her hard work, stating, 'I fight so hard just to start like everyone else. For me, that was really not easy,' highlighting the challenges she has faced in her career.
