10:41 am on 4 September 2011

Vera Zvonareva struggled once again at the US Tennis Open but the second seed managed to defeat pesky Spaniard Anabel Medina Garrigues 6-4 7-5 and move into the fourth round of the year's final grand slam.

Zvonareva, a finalist in 2010, needed two hours to defeat Garrigues for the fourth time in five career meetings.

Zvonareva will next face either unseeded American Irina Falconi or number 22 Sabine Lisicki of Germany.
