Emma Raducanu is out of the US Open after a straight sets defeat to Elena Rybakina in the third round.
The British number one was on full defence mode as the 2022 Wimbledon Champion applied the pressure.
Raducanu dropped her first set of the tournament as Rybakina took the lead. The Brit didn't get on the scoreboard until the fourth game, as Rybakina went 3-love up.
And that would be the only game Raducanu won in the first set, losing it 6-1 after 27 minutes on court.
The Kazakhstani player put on a dominant display that seemed to rattle Raducanu, despite her putting in a good fight.

The start of the second set got away from the former US Open champion, as Rybakina broke early again.
The American crowd seemed to be behind the Brit, cheering her along, but it wasn't enough.
Raducanu was deep in thought between games as she tried to figure out how to get back into the match.
She played a stronger style in the second set, but the ninth seed's relentless form couldn't be matched.
Raducanu's first real test at this year's US Open ended her race to the title again.
