  "account": "American tennis player Madison Keys suffered a setback at the U.S. Open on Saturday as Chinese qualifier Zheng Qinwen staged a remarkable comeback to defeat her 2017 runner-up. Meanwhile, Amanda Anisimova was eliminated from the tournament with a loss to Anastasia Potapova. The victory marked Zheng's second consecutive quarter-final appearance, despite facing a career slump due to a chronic right elbow injury that forced her to go through qualifying. Anisimova, the 2019 runner-up, struggled in a frustrating year at major tournaments and ultimately lost 6-2, 7-5 to Potapova. The talented 24th-seeded Austrian demonstrated her defensive prowess by saving 13 of the 16 break points she faced. In the evening program, Filipina fan favourite Alexandra Eala will face American Iva Jovic on Arthur Ashe Stadium, while men's top seed Alexander Zverev will play Chile's Alejandro Tabilo.",
