The world number one from Belarus moved past American Taylor Townsend 6-4, 6-3. Sabalenka is now advancing toward what would be her third US Open title after winning the tournament in each of the previous two years.

Noskova, the sixth seed from the Czech Republic, needed two and a half hours to defeat 11th seed Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine 7-5, 5-7, 6-4. She had led 7-5 and 5-3 and missed two match points on her serve at 5-4 in the second set, allowing Kostyuk to force a decider.

The final set brought another tense finish. Kostyuk saved three more match points while trailing 4-5, but she could not convert her break opportunity to level the set at 5-5. Noskova then closed out the match. Her run follows a Wimbledon title this summer, the biggest achievement of her career, according to the article.
