| VERDICT |
 |
| Dementieva's impressive groundstrokes twice took her to the brink of Grand Slam glory in 2004, in Paris and New York. However, the Russian's highly-suspect serve eventually cost her dear on both occasions. It reared its ugly head again at the recent French Open when she bowed out in the fourth round and it's hard to see how she can backed at any event these days due to the problem, let alone one on grass. Will do well to reach the quarter-finals for the first time. |
