Serena Williams overcame a slow start to beat Karolina Pliskova and progress into the US Open semi-finals.
Williams had trailed 4-2 in the first set but ran out a comfortable 6-4 6-3 winner on Tuesday night.
She will play 19th seed Anastasija Sevastova, who had earlier beaten the defending champion Sloane Stephens for a place in the final.
Pliskova, in 2016, had eliminated Williams in the US Open semi-finals - the 23-time Grand Slam winner is chasing her first major since becoming a mother last year.
Williams emphatically claimed this quarter-final win by serving for the match and hitting three aces then an overhead smash.
"I don't think I have another 10 years of having opportunities to be able to play and win championships," the 36-year-old said.
"Every match really means a lot to me. I kind of go out there and I just do the best that I can."
Williams is two wins from equalling Margaret Court's record haul of 24 Grand Slams.
