Kovacevic and Grant, who only met a week ago, showcased impressive skills in their semi-final mixed doubles match, but ultimately fell short against the experienced Errani and Vavassori.
Despite a valiant effort, the key moment in the match came when Grant lost serve at a critical 5-5 juncture in the second set, allowing their opponents to clinch the victory.
Grant, the second seed in the junior girls' singles tournament, continued her strong performance earlier in the day, setting the stage for her subsequent matches.
Kovacevic, ranked 73rd in men's singles, plans to return to his regular tour responsibilities in China despite the unexpected doubles excursion at the U.S. Open.
