Dementieva v Petkovic in Paris quarters – who will win?

Question

Elena Dementieva faces Germany’s Andrea Petkovic in the quarter-finals of the Open GDF Suez in Paris. Does Petkovic have any chance of winning?

Answer 1

It’s hard to see Dementieva losing this one. Her one loss so far this year was against Justine Henin and that was in a match of an incredibly high standard. However, Petkovic has beaten a top 10 player before – Svetlana Kuznetsova in Tokyo last September – so she’s capable of an upset.
