It will be an all-Russian women's final when Dinara Safina took out China's, Li Na, 7-6 7-5 and Elena Dementieva beat fellow Russian, Vera Zvonereva, 6-3 7-6 in the women's tennis semifinals.The final match-up should be an interesting one given that Safina is one of the best power players on Tour at the moment and Dementieva has the best groundstrokes when in-form.
It all depends on whether Dementieva can calm her nerves and serve well; otherwise big returner, Safina, will be all over her.
Should Zvonereva win her 3rd-place play-off match against Jelena Jankovic of Serbia, it will mark a perfect hat-trick of Gold, Silver and Bronze in the Beijing 2008 Women's Tennis!
My prediction is for Safina to win because I just can't see Dementieva having the mental capacity to counter the power play and consistency of in-form Safina.
