Elena Dementieva v. Francesca Schiavone 2008 Dubai SF highlights

This is probably one of the most exhausting matches you'll ever watch - most rallies are between 20-35 shots and both players end up cramping and appear physically drained by the middle of the second set.
Not sure I'd call this a classic, but it was full of drama, good entertainment, and good shots. I personally prefer their 05 Fed Cup match where Dementieva saved 4 match points - expect that one, as well as the other rubber against Garbin, next week.

That Dementieva forehand. She deserved more in her career.

Elena is the real Russian beauty, not Kournikova.

Hey, thanks for the highlights, do you have Dementieva VS Capriati US Open 2004 ? Full match

[@slion502]

After beating a Prime Ivanovic she beats Schiavone who had beaten #1 Henin. This was such a great tournament for her after a lackluster 2007 and her thrashing from meldonium in Australia.

Go to hell

It is just so easy to say worm words about Dementieva without poisoning them in such a horrible way.

@@gregoryoleynik1544 fine for me. Do u believe pova is still taking her meldonium for her heart disease now?
