彭帥破了戴娃七個發球局
CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) -- Rising teenager Shuai Peng upset third-seeded Elena
Dementieva 7-5, 6-4 Tuesday in the second round of the Acura Classic.
Peng took advantage of Dementieva's weak serve to break the Russian seven times
in 11 games for her third career win and second this season over a top-10
opponent. Dementieva is ranked No. 6 in the world.
``I'm happy, but I have to keep going,'' said Peng, playing in just her second
tournament in more than two months. ``The focus is to get comfortable out on
the court.''
The 19-year-old player from China, said she has learned a lot from playing in a
number of tough matches this season. Her biggest career victory came against
another Russian, then third-ranked Anastasia Myskina, whom she beat 6-1, 6-3 in
the Sydney event in January. She also upset top 10-ranked Nadia Petrova in the
same event.
Peng nearly upset top-ranked Lindsay Davenport at the French Open. She had a
6-3, 5-4 lead, and was ahead 30-15 before succumbing in three sets.
``It was a tough first-round match,'' Dementieva said. ``She has a pretty solid
game, the whole package. She's very aggressive from the baseline. She's playing
at a high level.''
Dementieva's loss weakens an already soft field in which only four of the top
10 players in the world entered the $1.3 million tournament.
