with 9 WTA and 3 ITF singles titles

has made it to the Finals of the French (2004) & US (2004) the QF of Wimbledon (2006) and the 4th round of the AO(2002,5,7,8)

In doubles she has a 150-84 career record

with 6 WTA & 3 ITA titles

reached her high ranking of 5th on April 14,2003

& the ultimate was when she won a Silver at the Sydney Olympics in 2000 in women's singles for Russia

she is also on the Russian Federation Cup team and is the most successful Russian Fed Cup player. As of April 29, 2007, she is 19-5 in singles and 3–3 in doubles. Her most prominent singles victories in Fed Cup were over Venus Williams (her first win over a top 10 player), Mary Pierce, Amelie Mauresmo, and Kim Clijsters.

Dementieva is a fast, powerful and aggressive baseliner known for her outstanding offensive and defensive abilities off the ground. Her forehand in particular is a fearsome weapon due to the power and placement of the shot and her ability to flatten it out. However, her serve is very inconsistent and considered one of the worst on the WTA Tour, especially in tight situations

She enjoys skiing and chess, once had a large cactus collection, was voted the most stylish player on tour at the 2006 Zurich Open in an online poll, and speaks fluent French and has named the French Open as her favorite Grand Slam event.

Answer 2

She usually gets upset in tournaments by a much lower seed. :p (By "upset," I mean she's usually a high seed in whatever tourmanet she plays in, and loses to a lower seed.)

Answer 3

She has terrible serves.

Answer 4

She's blonde, and she speaks French very well
