Dementieva Beats Serena 6-3 6-2 in Sydney


Last year Serena Williams and Elena Dementieva played the most memorable match of the year on the WTA Tour in the Wimbledon semifinals, with Serena prevailing. In fact, the two played an astonishing 6 times in 2009, and the results split evenly. 2010 has (again) started with Dementieva dismissing Serena 6-3 6-2 to defend her Sydney Medibank International title three days before Serena begins her Australian Open defense in Melbourne.
