Venus Williams overcame sixth seed Agnieszka Radwanska at the
Australian Open to reach her first Grand Slam quarter-final since 2010.
The 34-year-old American, who suffers from Sjogren's syndrome, a disease that can cause fatigue, won 6-3 2-6 6-1.
The seven-time Grand Slam champion will face teenager and fellow American Madison Keys in the last eight.
Venus will play sister Serena in the semi-finals, who beat Garbine Muguruza, if they both win again.
Top seed Serena, who has not advanced past the quarter-finals at
Melbourne Park since winning her last Australian Open title in 2010, had
trouble breathing at times and coughed throughout her match against
Muguruza, as she won 2-6 6-3 6-2.
She also struggled for form early on, but fought back to avenge her defeat by the Spaniard at last year's French Open.
