8 Sep
Summary
- Top seed Aryna Sabalenka faces Wimbledon winner Linda Noskova.
- Sabalenka is a two-time defending U.S. Open champion.
- Noskova aims for her first U.S. Open semifinal appearance.
The U.S. Open quarterfinals will feature a compelling match between top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka and Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova on Tuesday, September 8, 2026. Sabalenka, who has won the U.S. Open for the past two years, enters the match as the favorite. She has consistently reached at least the semifinals in her last five appearances at the tournament.
Noskova, the No. 6 seed and a Grand Slam winner, is experiencing her best performance at the U.S. Open, reaching the quarterfinals for the first time. While she broke through at Wimbledon, her history at the U.S. Open includes earlier exits. Sabalenka has a perfect record against Noskova, having won in straight sets in their previous meetings, including earlier in 2026.
Sabalenka has shown formidable form in the current U.S. Open, not dropping a single set and allowing no opponent more than four games in any set. This dominance, coupled with her hard court prowess and past U.S. Open success, makes her a strong contender to continue her winning streak at the event.
