Published January 7, 2023 5:14 AM

ADELAIDE, Australia (AP) — Teenage qualifier Linda Noskova has advanced to the Adelaide International women’s singles final after beating top-seeded Ons Jabeur. Jabeur needed a medical timeout for treatment on her back during the opening set and the world No. 2-ranked player looked restricted at times on the way to a 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 defeat. Jabeur was a two-time Grand Slam singles finalist last year. Noskova, an 18-year-old Czech ranked 102, will take on world No. 5 Aryna Sabalenka in Sunday’s final. Sabalenka earlier advanced with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Irina-Camelia Begu.
