Twice champion Venus Williams came through a testing match to beat Israel's Shahar Peer 7-6 6-3 and reach the U.S. Open quarter-finals on Sunday.
Williams struggled with her own serve in the blustery conditions and that of her opponent, the tournament's 16th seed.
The American third seed, bidding for an eighth grand slam title, had plenty of opportunities to break in the first set but converted just two of 10 break-point chances as it went to a tiebreak.
There the power of Williams' ground strokes proved too much for Peer, who remained an obdurate opponent in the next set, which the American won with greater ease.
