Nationality RUS
Pre-Tournament Odds 33/1
Became Pro 1998
Seeding 5
World Ranking 5
This highly-talented player is repeatedly let down by one facet of her game - the serve. When it cracks, Dementieva serves double fault after double fault. Bizarrely it rarely seems to affect the rest of her game, but the serving problems look set to deny her the opportunity of becoming one of the world's true elite. The Russian has failed to reach the last four in any of the last 10 Slams, but she was a winner in Dubai earlier in the year and arrives in decent form having reached the quarter-finals at Roland Garros.
