Taylor Townsand crowned the torna week in the US Open with one of her career offers, which disturbed Mirra Andreva 7-5, 6-2 in 76 minutes under the spotlight at Arthur Ash to reach the fourth round in New York for the first time since 2019.
The 29 -year -old American, who was classified outside the best 100 individuals, rose, but the number 1 world in the marital, after the miracle of teenagers while making the bullets of fear and constant pressure on the network. Townsund won 21 of 29 points when she advanced, hit 23 winners and kept them with a tense opening group before the race per second. This was her third victory in her career over the best 10 discount, as she joined the victories over Simona haalep here in 2019 and Jessica Pegula in Rome last year.
Townsund, a young in the previous world, has become the number 1 who has invented herself as a couple’s star, one of the central figures of the championship. This condemns her victory in the second round against Gilina Ostapenko, and after that she revealed that Latvian told her that she had “no chapter” and “no education”. The comments, justified by Ostapenko, react to Townsund, do not apologize for a shot that struck the upper part of the network, pushed accusations of racism.
“I also want to say thank you to everyone who has supported me over the past 48 hours,” Townsin said to the crowd after that. “It is bigger than me. It is about the message, it is about acting, it is about the bold and the ability to appear yourself and did that tonight. I have seen Taylor Townsund tonight.”
Exploiting the controversy in a longer narration. In 2012, USTa Townsund, then the best young in the world, requested to sit at the young open event in the United States and deprived of its wild cards in the main clouds or the qualifiers due to concerns about its fitness. This step, condemned by Serena Williams, Martina Navratilova and Lindsay Davborte, forced her mother to pay her path and eventually led Townsand to leave the Etihad program to work with Zina Jarison.
The same player, whom he considered “unprepared” for Esh, may return after years to dismantle one of the most sporting factors in the largest stage in which she talked about the depth of its flexibility. Indeed, the hero of Wimbledon and Australian Open alongside Kateina Siniakova, Townsund on Friday has proven that she still has the ability to make her fingerprint on individual as well.
For Andreeva, 18 years old, the defeat put an end to a semi -evaluating consistency in The Majors, where it reached the second week in each of the first three championships of the year, including the quarter -finals in Roland Garros and Wimpleon. The Russian, which claimed the WTA 1000 titles in Dubai and thousands of Indian earlier in 2025, was overcome in the closing stages with the growth of Townsund’s confidence.
