Iga Swiatek walloped Liudmila Samsonova 6-4 6-1 to reach the quarter-finals at the US Open.
NEW YORK - Top seed Iga Swiatek walloped Liudmila Samsonova 6-4 6-1 to reach the quarter-finals at the US Open on Monday , keeping her pristine sprint through Flushing Meadows on track at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
China's seventh-seed Zheng Qinwen repeated her Olympic Games gold medal victory over Donna Vekic of Croatia with her 7-6 , 4-6, 6-2 triumph setting a new benchmark for a late finish to a women's singles tie at Flushing Meadows."The tennis scheduling situation is a total mess. It looks so amateurish having matches going on at 2, 3, 4am. Sort it out @usopen," 2012 US Open champion Murray, who has only recently retired, posted on X.
The Zheng-Vekic match broke the record for the previous latest finishing women's match of 2:13 a.m. from 2021 when Maria Sakkari defeated Bianca Andreescu in a last-16 tie."It's always nice to play in the night session because I'm used to it," Zheng told the diehard smattering of fans left inside the cavernous 24,000-seater Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Germany's Alexander Zverev completed a four-set, third round win over Tomas Martin Etcheverry at 2:35 a.m. on Saturday. US Open chiefs introduced a new policy this year to counter the problem of late finishes with the tournament referee able to move a match to another show court if necessary.
