• Latvian comes back from set down to oust world No 1 3-6, 6-3 ,6-1
• Ostapenko next faces American sixth seed Coco Gauff

Ever since Jelena Ostapenko burst onto the biggest stages of professional tennis six years ago with her all risk, no fear shotmaking, she has stood as a threat in all tournaments. At any time, on any surface and in any country, Ostapenko can hit anyone off the court.

On Sunday night, she came for the best player in the world. Under the Arthur Ashe Stadium lights, Ostapenko toppled Iga Swiatek, the world No 1 and defending champion at the US Open, recovering from a one-set deficit to reach the quarter-finals with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-1 win.
