Sabalenka survives Noskova test to reach US Open semis
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.
