21:16 CET - It's been a bruising encounter for 2026 Wimbledon champion, Linda Noskova, but the Czech star is into the last eight at Flushing Meadows, after a three-set, 7-5, 5-7, 6-4 win over Marta Kostyuk.

18:58 CET - World number one and two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka is into the US Open quarter-finals for a sixth-straight year, after swatting aside the potentially tricky test of home favourite Taylor Townsend, 6-4, 6-3.

There were seven breaks of serve in a rollercoaster opening set, and despite going 1-3 down in the second, Sabalenka raised her level to reel off five straight games, returning to the last eight.

The Belarusian must retain her title to remain as the world number one, and she will next face the winner of Linda Noskova vs Marta Kostyuk.
