Justine Henin Dumps Elena Dementieva In Straight Sets & Advances To Third Round Of Australian Open.

Last week, Elena Dementieva defeated Serena Williams  in the finals of the Sydney International. However, today at the Australian Open, Justine Henin defeated Dementieva 7-5 7-6 in straight sets. Henin just returned to playing competitive tennis after a year and a half break, yet she is able to beat Dementieva.

The so-called depth in women’s tennis is a joke. I am not surprised Henin won because she is a great champion and Dementieva is not a champion.

Dementieva once again capitulates in a high-profile match and loses. People can make excuses for Elena Dementieva but she was the favourite to win yet she lost. I don’ think Elena will win a grand slam singles title. I Elena does not possess the mental toughness and a good serve to win a major.
