Aryna Sabalenka se califică în sferturile de finală la US Open. Al 17-lea sfert de Grand Slam din carieră

Belarusian player Aryna Sabalenka, the world number one, advanced to the US Open quarter-finals by defeating Taylor Townsend. Sabalenka won in just 75 minutes, showcasing her strong performance. After a shaky start, she dominated the match, winning the last five games. This victory marks her 17th consecutive win at the US Open and her sixth straight quarter-final appearance at Flushing Meadows. To maintain her top ranking, Sabalenka needs to win the tournament and see Elena Rybakina eliminated before the semifinals. She will face either Linda Noskova or Marta Kostyuk in the next round. Townsend's loss ended her hopes of reaching a Grand Slam quarter-final for the first time, despite her impressive previous win against the 15th seed.
