  "account": "Coco Gauff advanced to the fourth round of the US Open for the 19th time, reaching the second week of the tournament for a fifth consecutive year. The 22-year-old American, who won the US Open in 2023, defeated Spain's Cristina Bucsa 6-3, 6-4. However, fellow American players faced setbacks. Amanda Anisimova lost to Anastasia Potapova in straight sets, while Madison Keys was defeated by Zheng Qinwen after leading 5-0 in the third set. Despite the early exits of some home hopes, five American women will advance to the quarterfinals, including teenager Iva Jovic, Jessica Pegula, Taylor Townsend, and Emma Navarro. Other American men's players like Ben Shelton, Frances Tiafoe, Tommy Paul, Alex Michelsen, and Learner Tien also advanced.",
