Sabalenka's comeback victory over Noskova marked her sixth consecutive semi-final appearance at the US Open, underscoring her dominance on the hard courts of New York. The match proved competitive throughout, with the unseeded Czech player mounting a stern challenge before ultimately falling in the decisive tiebreak.
The Belarusian's ability to recover in the final set demonstrated the resilience that has defined her recent form. Sabalenka won the US Open title in both 2023 and 2024, establishing herself as the tournament's most dominant force in recent years.
With the semi-finals now in sight, Sabalenka continues her pursuit of an unprecedented three-peat at one of tennis's four major championships. Her consistent performance at Flushing Meadows has cemented her status as the player to beat in this year's competition.
The victory advances Sabalenka further into what could become a historic tournament run, as she aims to join an exclusive group of players who have captured three consecutive titles at the same Grand Slam event.
