  "account": "Australian wildcard Dane Sweeny made an impressive run in the US Open, reaching the third round by defeating world number 14 Lorenzo Musetti. The unseeded Sweeny, who stands at just 170 centimetres tall, beat the 14th seed 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 in a remarkable upset. This was Sweeny's biggest win in his career. Despite suffering a double break in the third set, Musetti could not overcome Sweeny's relentless pressure. After a medical timeout, Sweeny continued to outplay the Italian player, who was known for reaching the semifinals of Wimbledon and the French Open in recent years. Sweeny will face world number 22 Luciano Daredri in the next round. Other Australian players, Tristan Schoolkate and Alexei Popyrin, also fell in their second-round matches, with Schoolkate losing to Flavio Cobolli and Popyrin to Alejandro Tabilo.",
