<p>Qiang Wang takes down world No. 2 Ashleigh Barty 6-2, 6-4 and grabs the first spot in the QF&#39;s!<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/USOpen?src=hash&;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#USOpen</a> <a href="https://t.co/uGYKbQ1nr8">pic.twitter.com/uGYKbQ1nr8</a></p>

<p>She had a chance to break back but the hugely impressive Wang, playing in the fourth round of a grand slam for the first time, held her nerve.</p>
<p>A fourth match point saw the 27-year-old over the line and into the quarter-finals.</p>
<p><em>“‘Q’ was very good, very solid,”</em> said Barty. <em>“I felt like she was able to put the ball with great depth in difficult positions for me.</em></p>
<p><em>“I still was able to create opportunities, it was just very frustrating that on the big points today, she played a lot better.</em></p>
<p><em>“I mean I had nine break points, and I wasn’t able to even get one of them, which is really frustrating.</em></p>
<p><em>“But it’s been a great season in grand slams, making the second week in every single one, which has been really special.</em></p>
<p><em>“Now we’ll sit back, reflect, and look forward to a big couple months to finish off the year.”</em></p>
