NEW YORK (Reuters) - Belinda Bencic's fairytale U.S. Open debut came to an emphatic halt at the hands of China's Peng Shuai on Tuesday but the Swiss teen took plenty of comfort from her maiden trip to a grand slam quarter-finals.

For the big-hitting 17-year-old who graduated to the women's tour after winning the junior titles at last year's French Open and Wimbledon, her experience at the year's final grand slam in Flushing Meadows will serve as a building block.
