Olympic bronze medallist Vera Zvonareva, of Russia, was sent crashing out of the US Open on Wednesday, losing her second round match 6-3, 6-3 to unseeded Tatiana Perebiynis.

For the 23-year-old Zvonareva this is the first time she hasn't made it to at least the third round in her sixth US Open appearance.

Zvonareva, who is seeded eighth, collected her sixth career title earlier this year before winning the women's singles bronze at the Beijing Olympics.

Ukrainian Perebiynis is ranked 76th in the world and advances to play either Sybille Bammer or Aravane Rezai.

Zvonareva was in the same side of the draw as Jelena Jankovic and Lindsay Davenport.
