First set: Sabalenka* 3-1 Noskova (*denotes next server)

At 30-all, Sabalenka is applying more pressure on Noskova's serve, but Sabalenka smacks a backhand return into the net and Noskova can breathe a little at 40-30. And the Wimbledon champion gets her side of the scoreboard moving when Sabalenka again errs with her return. The Arthur Ashe crowd - perhaps only about a half full so far - cheer loudly. They're not against Sabelenka - as they were in the previous round when she played the American Taylor Townsend - but of course they want a close match.
