British number seven Jodie Burrage gave a good account of herself against Coco Gauff but was unable to cause a seismic shock as she exited the Australian Open in the second round.
Burrage, 25, lost 6-3 7-5 to the American third seed in Wednesday's night session on Rod Laver Arena.
Burrage, ranked 173rd in the world, had the chance to take the match into a decider when she served for the second set at 5-4.
But a poor service game, which ended with a double fault on the first of two break points, allowed Gauff to reassert her authority.
