Spanish tennis star Paula Badosa overcame stifling humidity and a tough opponent, Wang Yafan, to reach the US Open quarterfinals for the first time. This marks her best Grand Slam performance since a serious back injury nearly led her to quit the sport.
Unseeded Chinese player Wang Yafan stunned two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka in the third round of the US Open, ending the Belarusian’s 17th attempt at winning the tournament. Wang’s victory, fueled by a strong third set, marks her deepest ever run at a Grand Slam.
