Dementieva beaten in first round 4/4
Elena Dementieva was the first big name
to fall as the Australian Open got
under way in Melbourne on Monday.
The Russian, seeded ninth, went down
7-5 6-2 to Germany's Julia Schruff, who
had never previously won a match at the
year's first Grand Slam.
Schruff was in control throughout and
held her nerve despite letting a 5-1
lead slip in the first set.
The expected fightback never came from
Dementieva and Schruff will face Elena
Vesnina or Ting Li next.
