US Open: Johanna Konta beats Belinda Bencic to reach last 16

Johanna Konta shrugged off her second-round health scare at the US Open with a straight-sets victory over Switzerland's Belinda Bencic to move into the last 16.
Konta had suffered an on-court collapse only 48 hours earlier at Flushing Meadows but she showed no signs of weakness as she strolled past Bencic 6-2 6-1.
The British number one will now face Anastasija Sevastova, the Latvian who knocked out third seed Garbine Muguruza in round two.
