It was the second successive match in which Zheng recovered from 5-0 down to take a set, underlining her resilience in the tournament. BBC Sport reported the result, noting Zheng’s repeated late-set recoveries as she advanced to the last eight at the US Open. The victory over Swiatek hands Zheng a place in the quarter-finals and extends her run deep into the major.
