The US Open delivered a day of shocks as Madison Keys and Amanda Anisimova bowed out in the third round, while Mirra Andreeva continued her breakout season by advancing to the Round of 16.
Keys squandered a 5-0 lead in the final set against Zheng Qinwen, who mounted one of the tournament’s most stunning comebacks to win 1-6, 7-6(3), 7-5. Anisimova, last year’s runner-up, fell 6-2, 7-5 to Anastasia Potapova, struggling with 46 unforced errors.
Meanwhile, 19-year-old Andreeva showcased poise and precision, defeating Nikola Bartunkova 6-2, 7-6(5) to reach her maiden US Open Round of 16. The French Open champion now faces Potapova in a high-stakes clash that promises power and finesse in equal measure.
