Australian Open 2009 First Round Results: Elena Dementieva Survives Battle with Kristina Barrois to Advance

Elena Dementieva survived a serious battle with Germany’s Kristina Barrois in the first round of the Australian Open, needing three sets to advance 7-6 (7-4), 2-6, 6-1.

Dementieva and Barrois need just over an hour to complete their first set as neither appeared willing to give in. Barrois bounced back from the disappointing loss in the opening set and easily handled the fatigued Dementieva but the Russian bounced back in the third to take the match.

Dementieva has yet to capture a Grand Slam singles title but has reached the finals at the U.S. Open and French Open in 2004.
