On September 8, 2026, Aryna Sabalenka celebrated a dramatic victory over Linda Noskova in the quarterfinals of the US Open held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York. Sabalenka triumphed with scores of 7-6 (1), 3-6, 7-6 (10-7), keeping her hopes alive for a third consecutive US Open title.
In a thrilling match, Sabalenka secured her win with a second-serve ace, overcoming the challenge posed by the Wimbledon champion. This triumph has enabled Sabalenka to progress to the semifinals in Flushing Meadows for the sixth consecutive year.
Sabalenka needed this victory to retain her No. 1 ranking and will next compete against either No. 3 seed Jessica Pegula or No. 26 seed Emma Navarro on Thursday in the semifinals.
Linda Noskova, seeded sixth, sought to replicate her success at the All England Club, where she claimed her first major title. She aimed to become the first woman since Serena Williams in 2016 to reach the final four on the hardcourts of New York following a title win on grass.
