  "account": "Czech tennis star Linda Noskova advanced to the US Open quarter-finals after defeating Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk in three sets. The top-seeded Noskova, sixth in the rankings, triumphed 7-5, 5-7, 6-4, with the decisive point coming on her sixth match point. The 26-year-old, who won Wimbledon earlier this year, expressed relief after enduring an emotionally taxing match. Noskova, who appeared poised for a straightforward win after securing two match points in the second set, saw Kostyuk save both, setting the stage for a grueling third set. In the final set, Noskova broke Kostyuk's serve, but the Ukrainian fought back, saving three match points before ultimately falling short. Kostyuk, a two-time 2026 title winner, celebrated her efforts despite the loss.",
