Two-time major champion Svetlana Kuznetsova has beaten Maria Kirilenko to move into the fourth round of the U.S. Open.
Kuznetsova, who won Grand Slam titles at the 2004 U.S. Open and the French Open last year, won 6-3, 6-4 against her Russian compatriot.
She had lost her most recent two matches against Kirilenko, both on clay this season, but was in control throughout Saturday, saving the only two break points she faced and finishing with a 30-12 advantage in winners.
Next for Kuznetsova is 45th-ranked Dominika Cibulkova.
