Iga Swiatek\u2019s promising US Open run came to a grinding halt on Monday after being dumped out of the tournament by qualifier Qinwen Zheng.<\/p>\n
The eighth seed hadn\u2019t dropped a set in her run to the round of 16 at Flushing Meadows and looked to be cruising to victory against her Chinese opponent when she raced into a 5-0 first-set lead.<\/p>\n
But the Pole failed to win another game in that set as the 2024 Australian Open<\/a> runner-up stormed back to take the opener 7-5.<\/p>\n The former world No 4, who dropped outside the top 100 this year after having surgery on her elbow, withstood any fightback from the six-time major winner and claimed a remarkable 7-5, 6-3 win.<\/p>\n The 23-year-old\u2019s powers of recovery have been on full display at the US Open<\/a>, as in the previous round, she came from 5-0 down and saved a match point in the final set to beat Madison Keys in round three.<\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz stunned by Andy Roddick with shock US Open quarter-final news<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Is Alex Eala the WTA\u2019s \u2018best returner\u2019?

In 2022, she won the French Open<\/a> and US Open, she retained her title at Roland Garros in 2023 and 2024 and then claimed her first Wimbledon<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n But in 2026, she has been knocked out in the quarter-finals of Australia, the fourth round at the French Open and US Open, and the third round at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n So, how much did Swiatek make in terms of ranking points and prize money in New York?<\/p>\n The total prize fund for this year\u2019s US Open is a record $108million (\u00a380m), with the men\u2019s and women\u2019s singles champion each pocketing $5.5m (\u00a34m).<\/p>\n After making it to round four, Swiatek has earned $480,000 (\u00a3355,140) and 240 ranking points. She falls to ninth in the WTA Tour rankings on 4,619 points, while Zheng<\/a> continues her rise up the rankings to 52nd.<\/p>\n Swiatek, who seemed to return to form after winning the Canadian Open in August, is down in 11th in the WTA Tour Race on 3,584 points and could miss out on the WTA Tour Finals in Indian Wells later this year. And Zheng is up to 42nd on 1,018 points.<\/p>\n Below is a prize money and ranking points breakdown for the US Open.<\/p>\n First Round: $140,000 (\u00a3103,582) | 10 READ NEXT: Alex Eala\u2019s US Open ranking points and prize money after third round exit<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The post Iga Swiatek\u2019s US Open ranking points and prize money after Qinwen Zheng loss<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Iga Swiatek\u2019s promising US Open run came to a grinding halt on Monday after being dumped out of the tournament by qualifier Qinwen Zheng.
