2009 US Open: Kateryna Bondarenko beat Gisela Dulko in 4th round

Kateryna Bondarenko reached the quarterfinal of the US Open after crushing Gisela Dulko 6-0, 6-0.

Late arrivals on Arthur Ashe would have missed the Ukrainian’s 47-minute breeze against an error-strewn opponent who knocked out her seeded older sister Alona in round two.

“I just got some messages to do the revenge for my sister, so I start to think about it when I read the messages,” Bondarenko told reporters.

“I’m surprised that it’s 6-0, 6-0, and I’m really happy that it went that way.”

With no seeds left in the top quarter of the draw, Bondarenko has a golden chance to reach the semifinals of what has been an unpredictable tournament.

She faces a last eight test against Petra Kvitova or Yanina Wickmayer.
