Olympic champion Elena Dementieva became the newest seeded casualty at the Pan Pacific Open, going down 6-2 6-7 6-1 to Kateryna Bondarenko of Ukraine in the second round in Tokyo.
The third-seeded Russian, who was winner here in 2006, double-faulted twice on a break point and once on match point to lose to her 33rd-ranked challenger.
"There was nothing mistaken with my serve. I was serving good today," Dementieva told reporters in spite of serving 11 double faults.
With the top two seeds, Dinara Safina and Venus Williams, both deafening out on Monday, Dementieva's exit left U.S. Open runner-up Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark as the top-seeded player remaining.
