British number one Anne Keothavong gave Olympic champion Elena Dementieva a scare before bowing out 6-3 6-4 in the third round of the US Open.
After losing the first set, 24-year-old Keothavong broke serve to lead 4-3 in the second but she could not hang on and was broken straight back.
Serving to stay in the match at 4-5, Keothavong double-faulted to give the Russian three match points.
