Wimbledon finalist Vera Zvonareva safely moved into the third round of the US Open on Thursday with victory over Germany's Sabine Lisicki.
Russia's Zvonareva cruised through the opening set but had to come back from a break down in the second to secure a 6-1 7-6 (7/5) victory after Lisicki served for the set at 5-4.
"It got very windy and difficult to control the ball but I am glad the way I pulled it off in the end," said seventh seed Zvonareva, who lost to Serena Williams in her first grand slam final at the All England Club.
"I always believe in myself. I always believe if I am playing my best tennis I can beat anyone on the other side of the net.
"I'm trying to take it one match at a time. There are a lot of tough opponents but I am trying to enjoy my game and do my best and we will see where it's going to take me."
