Serena Williams beat sister Venus Williams in a 7-6 (8-6), 7-6 (9-7) win before a rocking nightime U.S. Open crowd--on an overruled line call via instant replay!

The close match could've gone either way, with Serena somehow surviving the big points to secure her spot in the semifinals where she'll face Dinara Safina on Friday.
