Safina beats Dementieva for German title
Published 5/11/2008 at FOXSports.com News for TENNIS
Dina Safina pulled off her third upset of a top-10 player in a week at the German Open, winning the title Sunday by defeating ninth-ranked Elena Dementieva 3-6, 6-2, 6-2.
The 17th-ranked Safina also beat No. 1 Justine Henin and No. 8 Serena Williams at the clay-court event.
The 22-year-old Russian overcame a slow start and dropped the first set - as in her two other upsets - before her shots began to find the lines.
