Nosková falls to Sabalenka in US Open

Czech tennis player Linda Nosková has been knocked out of the US Open after losing to world number one Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus, 6-7, 6-3, 6-7.

The 21-year-old Nosková fought the four-time Grand Slam champion for two hours and 22 minutes on Arthur Ashe Stadium. She led 4-2 in the final set but could not close out the match, losing the deciding super tie-break 7-10.

"I could have made different decisions at key moments. At the same time, Aryna played the best tennis she could at those points and made things very difficult for me," Nosková told reporters later.
