WTA - Dementieva v Vera Zvonareva

WTA Roland Garros - Elena Dementieva (RUS) vs Vera Zvonareva (RUS)

Elena Dementieva is flying under the radar in this tournament and step by step, she is coming closer to another final in here. The double faults issue looks to be history and the beautiful Dementieva is playing extremely well and not giving any chance to their opponents. Also the long three set matches that she used to play in early rounds of Grand Slams against weak opponents seems also to be history, as Dementieva after dropping the first set of her first round match on a tie-break is just dropping an average of 1.8 games per set in her matches in here. Dementieva is one of most fit players in the tour and she was always known for being a very strong player in close matches. Now with her serve fixed, she looks as a very strong contender to win the tournament in here.

Vera Zvonareva is a very tough opponent and she actually defeated Dementieva on green clay earlier this season, but Zvonareva wasn't exactly made for the big matches. She can play very well against weak opposition and even against world class players on minor tournaments, but when she has to play against a top player on a Grand Slam, she simply fails to perform at her best level. This is just the second time in four seasons that she reaches the fourth round of a Grand Slam and with her being known for not having one of the strongest minds in the circuit, I expect Zvonareva to underperform today, mainly thanks to nerves.

The truth is that Dementieva has won both matches against Zvonareva which were played on Grand Slams and I expect that to happen a third time today. Dementieva is not double faulting much and she's putting an high percentage of first serves on her matches in this tournament, showing that she is here to finally win a Grand Slam. Zvonareva is yet to face someone actually good on this tournament, while Dementieva faced two current Top 50 players and her other opponent is a former Top 40 player. Dementieva is simply better than Zvonareva on big matches and she should win and cover the handicap in that way. Take Dementieva minus the games in here.
