Most importantly, Sevastova converted five of eight break points, while saving seven of the nine against her.

In the semifinals, she will face the winner of the Tuesday night quarterfinal between two former World number 1 players, six-time US Open champion Serena Williams of the United States or 2016 US Open finalist Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic.
