Spanish player Cristina Bucsa is now in the fourth round of the 2025 US Open after defeating Elise Mertens in a challenging three-set match that lasted 2 hours and 39 minutes (3-6 7-5 6-3). It seemed like she had lost the match, but her fighting spirit brought great joy to the Cantabrian by defeating the number 21 in the WTA ranking. Bucsa will now face Aryna Sabalenka or Leylah Fernández in the fourth round. Why not keep dreaming?
