The Briton edged a tight first set, which went to a tiebreak, before clinching the second 6-3 against the 18th seed on her sixth match point. Konta, who also beat ninth seed Garbine Muguruza of Spain in the second round will now face Petra Kvitova.
The 24-year-old is the first British woman to reach the fourth round of the US Open since Laura Robson in 2012.
