NEW YORK (Reuters) - Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen survived an early scare to overcome Russia's Erika Andreeva 6-7(3) 6-1 6-2 in sweltering conditions on Wednesday to move into the third round of the U.S. Open.
Andreeva, the elder sister of teenage sensation Mirra, had already knocked out one Chinese player in Yuan Yue and was looking to reach the third round at Flushing Meadows for the first time in her career.
