  "account": "Ben Shelton advanced to the U.S. Open quarterfinals with an impressive 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas. The American tennis player dominated the match from start to finish, committing only 11 unforced errors and winning 83% of his first-serve points. Shelton's performance was a stark contrast to his earlier round match against Denis Shapovalov, which was marred by delays and a lower level of play. Tsitsipas, now ranked third in the world, acknowledged Shelton's improvement since their last encounter in 2023, noting his growth into a more mature player. The next match in Shelton's quarterfinal path will be against world No. 3 and defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, who has previously triumphed in their three meetings.",
