Britain's Johanna Konta praised the help of a psychologist for settling her nerves after clinching the second Grand Slam victory of her career against Louisa Chirico at the US Open.
Konta had reached round two of a major tournament only once before, at Flushing Meadows in 2012, and she repeated the feat with a convincing 6-3 6-0 win over the American wildcard.
Konta's win means she has now managed 14 consecutive victories and the 24-year-old will face ninth seed Garbine Muguruza in the second round who she beat to reach the quarter-finals of the Aegon International at Eastbourne earlier this year.
