  "account": "Mirra Andreeva secured a 6-2, 6-2 win over unseeded Indonesian Janice Tjen in the first-round match of the 2026 US Open, advancing to the second round. The 19-year-old Russian, who recently won the French Open title, displayed her prowess on hard courts, relying on power and precision to dominate Tjen. Andreeva acknowledged the pressure of her Grand Slam championship status, working with her psychologist to manage expectations and maintain her level. She emphasized the need to continue performing well despite high expectations, comparing her mindset to approaching another tournament win rather than a major breakthrough. Andreeva's aggressive play style and early lead in the first set allowed her to close out the match in just 31 minutes. Tjen, who had previously faced Andreeva in the US Open qualifying round, struggled against her opponent's aggressive tactics and ultimately fell short.",
