WTA官网2日称，郑钦文与克罗地亚选手维基奇的比赛于当地时间2日凌晨2点15分结束，创下美网女子比赛项目的最晚完赛纪录。最终，世界排名第7的郑钦文以2∶1击败老对手，连续两年杀进美网8强。

China's Zheng Qinwen reached the US Open quarterfinals for the second consecutive time with a victory over Donna Vekic of Croatia on Monday. In a repeat of the Paris 2024 Olympic gold-medal match, Zheng held off an outstanding effort from the 24th-ranked Croatian to make her second consecutive US Open quarterfinal and second Grand Slam quarterfinal of the season.

这是两人自巴黎奥运会网球女单决赛后的又一次碰面。WTA官网称，在那场金牌争夺战中，郑钦文在红土场上让维基奇无计可施，但在美网的硬地赛场上，维基奇展现出完全不同的竞技状态。首盘比赛中，维基奇不断调动郑钦文，中国金花利用发球与对手周旋，并通过抢七艰难拿下第一盘。在以4∶6丢掉第二盘后，郑钦文在决胜盘中利用发球建立优势，用一场2小时50分钟的鏖战证明了自己的勇气和实力。

WTA相关报道巧用英文谐音梗，“Once again, Zheng proves her mettle (medal?)”，借用发音相近的mettle（毅力）与medal（奖牌），表示郑钦文又一次展现了她的毅力，并有望夺得奖牌。

据官方统计显示，郑钦文在美网前四轮比赛中轰出48记Ace球（发球直接得分），这一数据远高于第二名维基奇的25记。与此同时，郑钦文的一发得分率高达80%。

Through four wins in New York, Zheng is averaging more than 10 aces per match. She has hit a total 48 aces, more than double of anyone remaining in the field. Her first serve has been devastating. She's won 80 percent of the points when it lands in and she has been broken just eight times.

郑钦文赛后称：“之前在红土上对阵维基奇我感觉自己能够控制比赛，但这次她给了我很大的压力，非常有侵略性。”

"I think she performs better on hard court compared to clay. Her ball is very flat," Zheng said after the match. "If you are not used to it it's very difficult to control. She was serving very well. It was tough to break her in the beginning of the match. It was a competitive match and I'm really happy to hold the pressure and get this match."
