Another of our cutie pies, Elena Dementieva is out of the 2008 French Open. Elena was beaten out in the quarterfinals by Dinara Safina.
Elena, the 7th seed, put up a good fight. She won the first set 6-4, then went 5-7 in a tiebreak to lose a close 2nd set. Then she seemed to run out of gas and momentum, losing the final set 0-6.
Safina is the 13th seed, and knocked off 4th seed Svetlana Kuznetsova in her semifinal match to win a spot in the French Open Final. This is Safina’s first appearance in the finals here, so she is playing well.I don’t think Elena has anything to be ashamed of.
Elena, we look forward to watching you at Wimbledon!
