Swiatek’s US Open Collapse: World No. 1 Squanders 5-0 Lead Against Zheng
Iga Swiatek, the Polish world No.1, suffered a shocking defeat at the US Open after holding a 5-0 lead in the first set of her round‑of‑16 match against China’s Qinwen Zheng. The loss prompted former champion John McEnroe to comment on the unexpected collapse and discuss the role of Swiatek’s coach, Francisco Roig. Zheng advanced to the quarter‑finals while Swiatek’s campaign ended earlier than expected.
