Anisimova Beats Noskova 6-1 6-4 to Reach Cincinnati Quarters

Amanda Anisimova moved into the Cincinnati quarter-finals with a controlled 6-1 6-4 win over Linda Noskova, taking command in a one-sided opening set and then holding firm through a tighter second. The American's serve was close to flawless: five aces, no double faults, and 82.1 percent of her first-serve points won, with an even better 87.5 percent behind the second ball. Noskova landed more first serves at 69.8 percent but won just 62.2 percent of those points, and her second delivery collapsed to 31.2 percent alongside five double faults. That gap decided the match.
