Michael Zheng secures first main-draw victory at the U.S. Open

New Jersey native Michael Zheng recorded his first career main-draw win at the U.S. Open on Wednesday. Playing on Court 10, the former Columbia University standout handled Hungary’s Fábián Marozsán in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4, 6-2. Zheng finished the match with 33 winners and converted on 92% of his first-serve points, overcoming a rain-delayed start to the tournament. This performance follows his run to the third round at Wimbledon earlier this summer. After receiving a wildcard entry into the tournament, Zheng is now scheduled to face Yunchaokete Bu in the second round on Thursday. The match against Bu, who entered as a lucky loser, is set for Court 12 no earlier than 4 p.m.
