  "account": "Australian tennis player Alex De Minaur has made a remarkable comeback to reach the semifinals of the China Open. De Minaur, who started the tournament with a slow opening, defeated Russian Andrey Rublev in three sets to secure his place in the latter stages of the competition. The victory sets up a clash between De Minaur and Hubert Hurkacz for the final spot. In the other semifinal, top seed Daniil Medvedev will face sixth seed Novak Djokovic. De Minaur's journey to the semifinals was far from easy, as he had to fight back from a slow start to overcome Rublev. After losing the first set 6-3, De Minaur produced a stunning three-set comeback, winning 1-6, 6-2, and 6-3. The Australian will now face Hurkacz, with whom he has a 3-1 head-to-head record.",
