Qinwen Zheng beat Madison Keys on Saturday at Flushing Meadows, making it to the fourth round of the 2026 US Open. The win was far from straightforward. Zheng nearly saw the match slip away before Keys fell apart in the third set. Martina Navratilova commented on the result.
It was a bad day for American players overall. Amanda Anisimova also lost Saturday, adding to a string of exits from the home country at the tournament.
