Kuznetsova shocked by Srebotnik

Svetlana Kuznetsova has become another major casualty at the US Open after being dumped out by Katarina Srebotnik.

The third seed won the title back in 2004 and finished runner-up last year but has now followed top seed Ana Ivanovic on an early flight home, losing to her Slovenian opponent 3-6 7-6 (7-1) 3-6.
Kuznetsova found Srebotnik's aggression too hot to handle for much of the contest, but got herself back into the game with a commanding tie-break to force the decider.
However, she was broken early in the third set and Srebotnik maintained her tempo to complete a famous win.
"I didn't play badly," said Kuznetsova. "She just played her best game.
"I was fighting and I wanted so much to win that match. She served very well, she came to the net many times, she was more aggressive than I was.
"For me it's a special tournament, I wanted to play very well here.
"She started coming in and I was not able to keep her back or come in myself."
Second seed Jelena Jankovic did at least make it to the next round but she was given a thorough examination before eventually overcoming Zheng Jie 7-5 7-5.
