US Open: Last Australian standing John Millman defeated by Philipp Kohlschreiber
Australia's last man standing at the US Open, John Millman, has turned his attention to doubles and adding to the biggest pay day of his career after bowing out of the singles in New York.
Millman went down 7-5 6-2 6-4 to tough German Philipp Kohlschreiber, but can look forward to a cheque for at least $US166,500 ($A210,000) for his run to the third round at Flushing Meadows for the first time.
The 28-year-old will also soar some 60 places in the rankings to around 180th in the world as he continues his comeback from groin surgery.

Little wonder Millman had no complaints after falling to the world No.37.
"A really good week," Millman said.
"I could walk off the court and say I was a little bit sore or whatever but, at the end of the day, physically I felt really good and I got beat by a guy who just played a little bit better than me.
"To be honest, I thought the whole match was pretty high quality.
"I really tried to back myself when the time was there to do so and I have to continue doing that.
"But I really think my game is at a good level right now and this week has been so good for that."
Millman's tournament isn't over yet, though, after the Queenslander gained a last-minute entry to the doubles with Englishman and fellow Liverpool fan Ken Supski.
