BIOGRAPHY
 
Elena Dementieva is a professional tennis player from Russia.

Dementieva played and won her first international tournament, Les Petit As, in France at the age of 13. In 1997, she entered the WTA top 500. She turned professional in 1998 and entered the top 100 in 1999.

Dementieva is a fast, powerful and aggressive baseliner known for her outstanding offensive and defensive abilities off the ground. Her forehand in particular is a fearsome weapon due to the power and placement of the shot and her ability to flatten it out. However, her serve is very inconsistent and considered one of the worst on the WTA Tour.
