Dementieva to take title in Paris?

Question

Can Elena Dementieva win the title in Paris 2010? The Russian was in great form heading into the Australian Open, defeating Serena Williams in the final in Sydney, before running headlong into Justine Henin blazing her way along the comeback trail in the second round of the Australian Open.

Answer 1

Dementieva’s weak serve is always a problem but against a field that also includes Flavia Pennetta, Yanina Wickmayer and Francesca Schiavone in the top four seeds, the world No. 7 should have the game to progress deep into the draw here – if not all the way.
