In a thrilling day of the US Open matches, Zanganeh and Potapova made big surprises by advancing to the fourth round of the competition. Zanganeh, with a stunning performance, managed to eliminate former Australian Open champion, Mickey Keys, showing that after going through a tough period due to elbow surgery, he has returned to his peak.
Zanganeh's Surprises
This young tennis player, in an exciting match, after losing the first set ۱-۶, managed to win the second set ۷-۶ and came back from ۰-۵ down in the third set to ultimately win ۷-۵. Zanganeh said about this victory: "I just told myself to hold every point and never give up." Now this player, who is ranked ۱۲۱st in the world, faces another big challenge: a match against Iga Swiatek, the six-time Grand Slam champion.
Potapova at Her Peak
On the other side, Potapova also advanced to the fourth round by defeating Amanda Anisimova. She won with scores of ۶-۲ and ۷-۵, marking her first time reaching this stage of the US Open.
