Linda Noskova reaches the US Open quarter-finals after defeating Marta Kostyuk in a three-set match on Sunday. Noskova, the Wimbledon champion, wins 7-5, 5-7, 6-4, converting the win on her sixth match point when Kostyuk nets a backhand return.
Both outlets describe the match as tightly contested, with each player taking a set before Noskova finishes in the third. The reports also note Noskova’s relative low profile at the US Open despite her Wimbledon title. After the victory, Noskova expresses relief and says the match is emotionally demanding. Her win sets up a quarter-final against Aryna Sabalenka, who has won the last two US Open titles, according to one report.
