Cutie pie, Elena Dementieva, from Russia, is seeded # 5 for the 2008 All England Lawn Tennis Championships. With a world ranking of # 5, she belongs high in the seeding chart.
This is Elena’s tenth appearance at Wimbledon, so she brings a lot of experience to this tournament. Her highest finish was the quarterfinals in 06. She was defeated in the third round last year. I think she will do better than that this year.
Elena’s first round opponent is 26 year-old 138th ranked Maria Elena Camerin of Italy. Maria has never made it past the second round in five tries, so Elena should have an easy first match. Show us what you can do, Elena!
