US Open Final: Safina Dementieva Repeat?

Question

I think it is very possible for that to happen. The top half has very great competitors IF they were healthy. Ivanovic could meet her in the quarters but her thumb is injured so safina could make it through. The other quarterfinal in the top half could be a potential all williams match. If Safina makes it to the semi's I could see her beating a Williams. The bottom half is much easier though. Dementieva could have a tough round of 16 match vs Ana Chakvetadze who is playing well at the moment. And then if she makes it through that she could potentialy play Kuznetsova who is ALWAYS a threat. Plus Kuznetsova has to redeem herself from her loss at the olympics. Jelena Jankovic is also in the bottom draw but I don't see her going that fall

So is it possible for a Safina Dementieva repeat?

Answer 1

I wouldn't mind seeing a Safina - Dementieva final.  It's possible.  

Both are showing grit and intensity.  Safina's defensive play is incredible and Dementieva is a backboard.

Too bad Sharapova's hurt.  I'd like to see her  v. Ivanovic.  That would be interesting.

Answer 2

I actually want them to be in the final. I think out of all the players on the tour, these two would make the best final. I think they definitely can make it. Safina has a harder draw than Dementieva though. Sure Dementieva could meet Kuznetsova in the quarters; that would be a tough match. But, come on, Jankovic will choke in the semi's, as usual. Safina could have Ivanovic in the quarters and one of the Williams sisters in the semi's. It's going to be a test, but this is what happens when you get the top rankings. I think she will make it through though, if her serve is as bad as it was at the Olympics, she won't get past the Williams sisters.  

Answer 3

yes that could very well be in the making... they are both very consistent and had good showings at the slams this year......

i hope they both play the final. it would be awesome for demeteva to win it! i kinda hope she does.. she seems like a very humble cool player... not very showy or mouthy..

like em both

Answer 4

that would be a great final to watch.  and its very possible that they could be the final line up

Answer 5

Absolutely- and not because Ana's thumb is injured, but because Ana isn't very good. Sure she beat Safina on clay- but Safina freaked out and shes had way more experiance now. Would love to see Elena get thru shes awesome. It'll be interesting... but don't count on all top ten gettting past the second rounds, seriously... they kinda suck!
