  "account": "Cameron Norrie delivered a remarkable comeback to defeat world number seven Alex de Minaur in a thrilling Canadian Open match. The British player, trailing 5-7 6-1 in the second set, managed to save a match point and ultimately secured a 5-7 7-6 (7-5) 6-1 victory, advancing to the fourth round. De Minaur, who led by a double-break in the second set, had an opportunity to clinch the match but ultimately double-faulted on multiple occasions. Norrie, who edged out the tie-break, expressed his satisfaction with the win, stating, \"It was a great match to win and to test my level, and I can take so much confidence from this one.\" The 30-year-old will face Arthur Fils in the next round to claim a spot in the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, in the WTA 1000 event, world number one Aryna Sabalenka continued her strong hard-court performance, advancing to the fourth round after defeating China's Zhang Shuai 6-3 6-4.",
