US Open Day 4

'Double-bagel' for Bonarenko

Kateryna Bondarenko recorded the famed 'double-bagel' victory as she booked her place in the US Open quarter-finals.

The Ukrainian crushed Gisela Dulko 6-0 6-0 to set up a meeting with Yanina Wickmayer at Flushing Meadows.

It was a case of family revenge given Dulko had beaten Bondarenko's sister Alona in the second round.

Despite being ranked 12 places higher than her opponent, Dulko looked thoroughly outclassed with five double faults and 20 unforced errors hardly helping her cause.

The match was finished in just 47 minutes as Bondarenko, who toppled 11th seed Ana Ivanovic in round one, booked her place in the first Grand Slam quarter-final of her career.

Bondarenko's clash with Wickmayer ensures there will be at least one unseeded player in the semi-finals.
