Caroline Wozniacki thrilled the New York crowd with a stunning win over sixth seed Maria Sharapova at the US Open.
The Dane, seeded 11th, won 6-4 2-6 6-2 on a stiflingly hot afternoon at Flushing Meadows.
Wozniacki, 24, is through to her first Grand Slam quarter-final since 2012, and plays Italy's Sara Errani next.
'It means so much to me - it's been a bit up and down for me this year,' said Wozniacki.
Roared on by the majority of spectators on Arthur Ashe Stadium, the 2009 finalist looked back to her best as her superb defensive ability proved too much for Sharapova in a pulsating final set.
Wozniacki has slipped from the very top of the game in recent years after finishing as year-end world number one in 2010 and 2011, but in recent months there have been signs of a resurgence.
A title in Istanbul, a first top-five scalp in three years against Agnieszka Radwanska and twice taking Serena Williams to three sets suggested the Dane could again be a major threat, and beating Sharapova at a Grand Slam is confirmation of that.
The Dane made a terrific start, serving well and attacking the net as she moved 3-0 clear, but when Sharapova hauled her way back to 4-4 it seemed her heavier hitting would hold sway.
Sharapova has not been at her best in New York, however, and two wild forehand errors gave Wozniacki the first set.
It was hardly a crisis for the French Open champion, who leads the standings for three-set wins in 2014 with 17, and she dominated the second set with two breaks to level after nearly two hours.
With the temperature soaring, the heat rule was brought into effect and the players given a 10-minute break to leave the court.
Sharapova received a time violation on her return as umpire Marija Cicak said she had taken 'way too much time', and early in the final set it was Wozniacki who complained that the Russian was too slow between serves.
Fired up and moving brilliantly behind the baseline, Wozniacki grabbed control of the match when she broke to love in a stunning rally at 2-1, chasing down everything Sharapova could throw at her until the Russian dumped a volley in the net.
The momentum was with the Dane and she would not flinch as her biggest win in recent memory loomed.
Attacking the Sharapova serve once more, Wozniacki stepped in and hammered a backhand winner to convert her first match point.
'This has been really great to win today against a champion like Maria,' she added.
'I think the first two sets maybe weren't the highest quality, it was really difficult in the wind, but in the third set we picked it up.'
