Simona Halep continued her run at the US Open with a 6-3 6-4 victory against Kateryna Bondarenko.
The second seed, who was 6-2 3-0 up against Marina Erakovic in the first round when her opponent retired injured, proved too strong for the Ukrainian in the first meeting between the pair.
Halep is now just one win away from equalling her best performance at Flushing Meadows, the world number two having made the fourth round in 2013.
