The Belarusian will next play 13th seed Daria Kasatkina, who beat Belgian qualifier Greet Minnen.
Aryna Sabalenka beat Clara Burel 6-1, 6-1 in the third round of the US Open on Saturday.
Sabalenka had swatted aside Burel in the third round a year ago and once again the Australian Open winner would not be denied as she fired off 22 winners in a brisk one-hour affair at the Louis Armstrong Stadium. “I’m super happy with the performance today. I think I played really great tennis today,” she told reporters.
Burel showed some signs of life when she fended off a pair of break points in the opening game of the second set, but Sabalenka quickly retook control.
