Michael Zheng has advanced in the U.S. Open after securing his first main draw win. The New Jersey native, a former Columbia University star, defeated Hungary's Fábián Marozsán with a score of 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 on Court 10. Zheng showcased a strong game, hitting 124 mph serves and 33 winners against only 17 unforced errors. He also maintained an impressive 92% success rate on his first serves.
This victory marks a significant milestone for Zheng, who was awarded a Wild Card into this year's main draw after previous U.S. Open qualifying attempts. His win comes after a successful Wimbledon run earlier in the summer, where he reached the third round. Zheng's next challenge will be against China's Yunchaokete Bu, a Lucky Loser, on Court 12.
