What happened
Saving match point, a player advanced past Madison Keys to the fourth round, as reported by the BBC. The victory, described as a dramatic comeback, eliminated the No.22 seed from the US Open third round and secured the winner's place among the remaining competitors. Subsequent coverage from USA Today and Yahoo Sports noted that No.22 Madison Keys and No.10 Amanda Anisimova both suffered upset defeats in the third round.
ESPN detailed that Anisimova fell to Yulia Potapova, while The Guardian listed the losses alongside those of Fritz and Cobolli, adding that Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek and Anastasia Andreeva progressed. The collective reporting underscores a broader shake‑up among seeded players at this stage of the tournament. The upsets reshaped the draw heading into the second week.
No outlet directly contradicted the core result that Keys was eliminated, though The Guardian presented the outcome within a broader list of upsets rather than as a singular focus. Coverage uniformly confirms Zheng Qinwen's advancement to the fourth round, while both Keys and Anisimova's campaigns have ended. The next matches will determine Zheng's opponent in the round of 32.
