Chinese female tennis player Li Na breezed through to the fourth round of the U.S. Open at Flushing Meadow on Friday, after defeating Russia's Maria Kirilenko in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2.
The 18th seed will next play Italy's Francesca Schiavone for a place in the quarter finals, which would be Li's best performance at Flushing Meadow, having reached the fourth round of both the 2006 and 2008 tournaments.
Twenty-seven year old Li missed much of the 2008 season with a knee injury. She is currently ranked 19th in the world.
