Sabalenka steamrolls into US Open semis, home fans await 'Battle of the Billionaires'
World number one Aryna Sabalenka edged past Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova in three sets to advance to the US Open semi-finals for an unprecedented sixth time. The Belarusian ace specialist, currently at the top of the rankings, triumphed 7-6 (1), 3-6, 7-6 (10-7) on Tuesday evening. Noskova, the Czech Republic's sixth seed, put up an impressive performance with 18 aces and saved seven break points, but ultimately faltered when leading by a break in the final set.
Sabalenka's road to the semi-finals will now lead her to face either Jessica Pegula or Emma Navarro in the next round, after they clash in an all-American contest.
