FLUSHING MEADOWS, N.Y. — Taylor Townsend had her moment on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Tactical ingenuity, a wave of home support and a spiral from world No. 5 Mirra Andreeva helped the American, who is world No. 1 in doubles but world No. 139 in singles, to overcome a gap of 134 spots in the world rankings. Townsend surged into the fourth round of the U.S. Open singles for the first time since 2019, beating Andreeva 7-5, 6-2 on the biggest stage in the sport.
