Kuznetsova exits US Open

Svetlana Kuznetsova became the latest top casualty in the women’s draw at the US Open after the number three seed succumbed to a 6-3 6-7 (7/1) 6-3 defeat to Katarina Srebotnik.

Just one day after number one Ana Ivanovic crashed out of the tournament, Kuznetsova suffered the same fate with the Russian committing 36 unforced errors as Srebotnik secured her place in the fourth round.
