  "account": "New York, September 10 — Inspired by Frances Tiafoe’s remarkable comeback to reach the US Open semi-finals, Coco Gauff fought back against reigning French Open champion Mirra Andreeva in a hard-fought victory. The world number four American, who has won two Grand Slams, saved two match points in the second-set tie-breaker before defeating Andreeva 2-6, 7-6 (9/7), 6-2 to secure a spot in the semi-finals. Gauff will face Elena Rybakina in a Thursday match at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Gauff likened her performance to Tiafoe’s stunning comeback against Alex Michelsen on Tuesday, attributing her inspiration to the American's resilience. Tiafoe, who will face Ben Shelton in the men's semi-finals, has been a source of motivation for Gauff, praising his positive attitude and sportsmanship. Gauff's victory adds to the growing number of black players in the semi-finals, including herself, Tiafoe, and Shelton, who could become the first US men's major champion in 23 years.",
