Belinda Bencic went a set down to world number 88 Misaki Doi before recovering to progress to the third round at the US Open on Wednesday evening.

The 18-year-old hit six aces on her way to defeating Doi 5-7 7-6(3) 6-3.

Swiss number one Bencic struggled to control the match early on though, as the Japanese player broke to take the first set.
