  "account": "In Beijing, Olympic champion and home favourite Zheng Qinwen will contest the China Open final against Mirra Andreeva, a French Open winner. The Russian fourth seed, Zheng, secured her place in the final after defeating unseeded Elise Mertens in Saturday's semi-finals. Zheng made an early break to lead 4-2, but Mertens managed to break back. Despite making several mistakes, Zheng managed to regain the lead, ultimately winning the match 7-5, 6-2. Zheng, aiming for her first WTA 1000 title on home soil, displayed remarkable composure to win the second set 6-2. Andreeva's win over Nikola Bartunkova took one hour and 14 minutes, as the Czech player committed 20 unforced errors, twice as many as Andreeva. With 27 winners, Andreeva successfully clinched her second WTA 1000 final of the year.",
