Ajla Tomljanovic has continued her giant-killing US Open run to give Australia a women's and men's quarter-finalist at Flushing Meadows for the first time in almost 40 years.

Two days after spectacularly ending Serena Williams' storied career, Tomljanovic snapped the 13-match, 18-set winning streak of Liudmila Samsonova with a tenacious 7-6 (10-8) 6-1 fightback against the red-hot Russian.

Just as she did in her against-the-odds win over Williams, Tomljanovic again displayed extraordinary mental resilience on Louis Armstrong Stadium.

The 29-year-old battled back from 5-2 down in the opening set and saved eight set points in an epic 18-minute game to draw level at 5-5.

After fending off her eighth set point in the tiebreaker to snatch the set, Tomljanovic seemingly broke Samsonova's spirit.
