Zheng, Liutova qualify for US Open; Zidansek stops Andreescu

Olympic gold medalist Zheng Qinwen and 16-year-old Memphis champion Kristina Liutova both successfully qualified for the US Open on a rain-delayed Friday, August 28, 2026. Former Roland Garros semifinalist Tamara Zidansek produced a remarkable comeback, overcoming a one-set and one-break deficit to defeat 2019 US Open champion Bianca Andreescu in qualifying. Zheng's latest qualifying success mirrors a previous run she made as a teenager earlier in her career.
