  "account": "Aryna Sabalenka extended her winning streak to 45 matches at the Masters 1000 level with a dominant 6-1, 6-3 victory over China's Wang Xinyu in Cincinnati. The top-ranked player wrapped up the first set in just 20 minutes and took a quick lead in the second, breaking Wang's serve early. With Wang double-faulting on the first match point at 54 minutes, Sabalenka sealed the win. The 25-year-old attributed her success to trusting her game and not overthinking, staying focused throughout the match. Her next opponent will be fellow Polish player Sara Bejlek, who recently defeated Ekaterina Alexandrova 4-6, 6-1, 6-2.",
