NEW YORK — Aryna Sabalenka's title defence at the US Open faced a stern examination from Linda Noskova, but the champion emerged victorious to reach the semi-finals on Tuesday.
Sabalenka's progression came as anticipation built for a highly anticipated all-American semi-final later in the day's schedule, with observers noting the significant wealth of the two remaining contenders fueling interest in the matchup.
The Belarusian's victory over the sixth-seeded Noskova marked a crucial milestone in her quest to retain the title she won last year. The match proved to be one of the more demanding contests Sabalenka has faced during the tournament so far.
With her semi-final berth secured, Sabalenka moves closer to another potential Grand Slam title, while the US Open continues to generate momentum heading into its concluding stages.
