Con esta victoria, Renata Zarazúa se convierte en la primera mexicana en vencer a una jugadora ubicada en el Top 10 del ranking WTA.
La capitalina venció por primera vez en su carrera a una top 10.

Overview

  • Zarazúa defeated Keys 6-7(10), 7-6(3), 7-5 on Arthur Ashe Stadium in a match that lasted just over three hours.
  • The win is Mexico’s first by a woman over a Top‑10 opponent at a Grand Slam since Angélica Gavaldón in 1995.
  • She is scheduled to face France’s Diane Parry in the US Open second round on Wednesday, August 27, with the time yet to be confirmed.
  • Zarazúa said she was unusually nervous before the match, called her mother for support, and described the effort as overcoming fear.
  • Reports say advancing to round two secured her $154,000 in prize money, and President Claudia Sheinbaum publicly praised her achievement.
