  "account": "Alex de Minaur overcame a bloody leg injury to claim a dramatic comeback victory over Alexander Zverev at the Laver Cup, giving Team World a 5-3 lead over Europe. The 2-6, 7-6 (5), 11-9 win marked the first win for Team World in the middle day of competition. De Minaur credited his resilience and fortune for securing the crucial points. Zverev, now nine matches unbeaten, fell short in his bid to break the French Open and U.S. Open champion's streak. Tien won his opening match against Flavio Cobolli, while the night session will see Carlos Alcaraz face off against Taylor Fritz and Zverev partner with Casper Ruud in doubles.",
