BRITISH number one Anne Keothavong will take on Olympic champion Elena Dementieva in the US Open happy for once to be sharing the media spotlight with Andy Murray.
Making her US Open debut, Keothavong, the world number 87, completed her second victory in three days yesterday with the upset of 25th seed Francesca Schiavone of Italy, 6-2 3-6 6-4.
Now the 24-year-old Londoner is preparing to face world number five Dementieva tomorrow in the third round and occupying centre stage.
"it's a nice feeling to get women's tennis out there," Keothavong said last night. "There are women who are doing things in British tennis and it's nice to know that it's just not Andy Murray out there.
"It's nice to be with him at these events and share it with him."
Meanwhile, Murray faces Michael Llodra in the second round this evening as he looks to build on a quarter-final appearance in his last grand slam at Wimbledon.
