Lily Miyazaki\u2019s US Open adventure was ended in the second round by Olympic champion Belinda Bencic.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old came through three matches to qualify at Flushing Meadows for the first time and then picked up a maiden grand slam win against Margarita Betova in round one.<\/p>\n

But the world number 198 found 15th seed Bencic, of Switzerland, too tough a nut to crack as she bowed out 6-3 6-3.<\/p>\n

Miyazaki still leaves New York with the consolation prize of having virtually doubled her earnings for the year with a \u00a398,000 pay day for winning her first-round match.<\/p>\n

A break early in the first set and two in the second set proved her undoing, although she did break the Bencic serve late on, prompting the 26-year-old to fling her racket to the ground.<\/p>\n

But ultimately Bencic, a former semi-finalist, was too strong for the Tokyo-born debutant and broke again to seal the victory.<\/p>\n

Miyazaki was one of seven British players to reach the second round, the most since 1977.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cI think we all push each other on, and it\u2019s great to see everyone doing well. I think it inspires everyone else.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately I\u2019m the first one to lose. But yeah, it\u2019s been great to be a part of that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I\u2019ve learnt that if I put my level out there, then I have the game to disrupt other players\u2019 games.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven today I felt like once I got into the points I was able to play my game and kind of control the points pretty well so I think I can take a lot of confidence from that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miyazaki was supported once more by fellow Brit Jodie Burrage, who faces world number two Aryna Sabalenka in her second-round match on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Burrage, who beat Anna Blinkova in straight sets on Tuesday night, said: \u201cIt\u2019s a massive match. Probably one of the biggest ones I would have played in my career.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I\u2019ll go out there and enjoy it like I always do. I\u2019ll take the confidence from the matches I played this week and the last few weeks and months. Like everything, it\u2019s lessons I\u2019ve been learning from.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burrage feels her run here and to the second round at Wimbledon have earned her the respect of her peers in the locker room.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope so. I hope that\u2019s the reputation I\u2019m getting,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\u201cA few more of the girls, I start hitting with them, then you know them a little bit more. In the locker room, as well, it really is a place where you can chat to people and get to know people a little bit more.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been speaking to Jessie Pegula a little bit because she\u2019s in my bit of the locker room. Mostly we\u2019re talking about the adidas outfit, what we\u2019re wearing. Those little things start the conversations.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, yeah, hopefully they are building respect for me and finding who I am out as a player \u2013 hopefully not too soon because I think that surprise is helping me at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

British number one Katie Boulter has a big chance to move into the third round as she takes on Chinese world number 114 Wang Yafan.<\/p>\n
