Her dominance was on display in the previous round after easing past Ann Li, dropping just three games.

Krejcikova is a big challenge for the American this week. The former world number two is a two-time Grand Slam winner, and she has enjoyed her joint career-best run at the US Open this year.

Her character was on full display in the previous round after saving match points to eventually overcome Taylor Townsend in three sets. The Czech player has already shown her class throughout the Slam, beating National Bank Open winner Victoria Mboko in the opening round, and eliminating tenth-seed Emma Navarro in the third round.
