Sabalenka Leads Noskova at US Open

Sabalenka is applying pressure on Noskova's serve at 30-all in the first set. After Sabalenka smacked a backhand return into the net, Noskova won the point at 40-30. The crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium, about half full, is cheering loudly as they hope for a competitive match.

Following this quarter-final, Francis Tiafoe will face Alex Michelsen in the other last-eight match. The Arthur Ashe crowd is not against Sabalenka as they were in her previous round against American Taylor Townsend, but they are eager to see a close contest. betsport.cv
