Serena Williams has a scream reaching quarterfinals

She hardly gave the ball a glance because she knew Kanepi had no chance at reaching it.

Williams, seeded 17th, has been in fine form at Flushing Meadows, dropping her first set of the tournament before recovering to win 6-0 4-6 6-3 against Estonia's Kaia Kanepi on Sunday.

"My desire still remained at that incredibly high level to compete and to want to win", Williams said.

Williams played Sunday one day after daughter Olympia's first birthday.

Tennis Smash reported that Williams was unstoppable on Sunday as she swept through the opening set against Kanepi in a record-breaking 18 minutes. "It was one or two points that made a huge difference in that second set".

This match was filled with big hitting by both women, along with all manner of shifts in momentum and quality of play.

However, the unseeded Estonian - herself a notably aggressive player - rallied superbly to force a decider and Williams had to work hard to regain control before she eventually triumphed 6-0 4-6 6-3 and set up a last-eight meeting with Karolina Pliskova.

She held onto her advantage until 4-2 and then broke Williams again with a brilliant game. "I'm going to continue to grind and see what happens". "That's the most important thing to me".

As one favourite after another has staggered out of this US Open, Serena Williams has looked resolute and indomitable in pursuit of a seventh title - until she encountered someone who hits the ball as hard as she does, Kaia Kanepi, who nearly derailed her campaign on Sunday.
