DEFENDING champion Svetlana Kuznetsova was beaten 6-3 2-6 6-4 by fellow Russian and 30th seed Maria Kirilenko at the French Open yesterday.
Two days after saving four match points in the second round against Germany's Andrea Petkovic, Kuznetsova found herself in a similar hole but this time there was no escape.
Kuznetsova, who beat Dinara Safina to win the title for the first time last year, hung on grimly by saving two match points but Kirilenko converted at the third time of asking when Kuznetsova prodded a backhand into the tramlines.
Kirilenko will face Italy's Francesca Schiavone in the fourth round.
