  "account": "Chinese tennis star Zheng Qinwen, a former world number four, delivered a remarkable comeback to defeat six-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek 7-5, 6-3 in the US Open quarter-finals. The Olympic gold medallist, now ranked 121st, had to qualify for the tournament and had previously stunned Madison Keys with a seven-game winning streak. In her latest match, Zheng fell behind 5-0 in the first set but went on to win the set 7-5 by breaking Swiatek twice. She continued her impressive performance in the second set, winning 6-3. Zheng attributed her success to finding her rhythm and focusing on each point. She admitted that the psychological challenge of returning to the top 10 after a significant drop in rankings was difficult. Swiatek, who leads their head-to-head 4-1 and has won both meetings this year, will face Elena Rybakina next. Rybakina, the current world number two, defeated Naomi Osaka 6-1, 6-4 and leads the head-to-head 4-1 against Swiatek.",
