  "account": "In a surprising upset at the US Open, 50th-ranked Karen Khachanov defeated third-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-7 (5/7), 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. The Russian player capitalized on Auger-Aliassime's 47 unforced errors and eight double faults throughout the match, which lasted for a total of 2 hours and 45 minutes. Auger-Aliassime, who was struggling with physical issues, admitted to feeling dizzy and seeing spots during the contest. The win marked Khachanov's first top-10 victory of the year and added to the already wide-open men's field, featuring world No 2 Alexander Zverev. Iga Swiatek and Naomi Osaka advanced to the third round, with the Polish champion defeating Nadia Podporoska 6-3, 6-2 and the Japanese star overcoming Katerina Siniakova 6-2, 5-7, 6-1. Other notable matches included Madison Keys' comeback to beat Anna Bondar 4-7, 6-4, 7-6 (10/5), Amanda Anisimova's win over Lilli Tagger 6-3, 3-6, 6-1, and Alexandra Eala's victory over Oleksandra Oliynykova 6-1, 6-4.",
