US Open: Noskova Muscles Into Third Round
Louis Armstrong Stadium: Wimbledon champion and No. 6 seed Linda Noskova extended her Grand Slam winning streak by reaching the third round of the US Open with a straight-sets win over Thailand's Lanlana Tararudee at Louis Armstrong Stadium.
Noskova’s win means she will at least match her best result at Flushing Meadows by reaching Round 3. Last year, she was beaten in that round by fellow countrywoman Karolina Muchova.
Both players started the match strongly on serve, but Noskova kept pressing Tararudee until she could no longer withstand the barrage from the Czech’s baseline. Finally, Noskova broke Tararudee in the seventh game, and that was all she needed to claim the opening set. Aggressive positioning was key, as Noskova won 12 of 15 net points.
