  "account": "Frances Tiafoe triumphed over fellow American Alex Michelsen in a dramatic quarter-final at the US Open, securing his place in the semi-finals where he will face either world number one Carlos Alcaraz or eighth seed Ben Shelton. The match, which lasted four hours and 38 minutes, saw Tiafoe, the 28-year-old, rebound from a two-sets and break deficit to clinch a hard-fought victory. At one point, Michelsen served for the match at 5-4, but Tiafoe broke his serve to level, and went on to win the set and the opening three games of the fourth. Tiafoe's exceptional performance in the deciding set, where he overcame multiple breaks of serve, secured his fourth five-set win at a major in 2026.",
