Holmgången took almost three hours and now world second Ons Jabeur is waiting for the 102-ranked Czech.
- I really did not expect to reach the semi-finals after wins against Kasatkina (Daria who is world number nine) or Azarenka.
I only came here for the qualifier.
I don't even know what I'm doing here, laughs Noskova according to the WTA tour after the win against the 26-ranked Belarusian.
Noskova together with Lucie Hradecka was the pair that knocked sisters Serena and Venus Williams out of the US Open in September when Serena said goodbye to world tennis.
The Australian Open begins on January 16 in Melbourne.
