Zvonareva has yet to be tested this week, dispatching Italian qualifier Roberta Vinci with ease 6-4, 6-0 in the third round. The centre court roof was kept open for the match which made conditions a little different with the wind coming into play but Zvonareva was never in any trouble, winning nine of the last ten games.
"Overall I played a good match but there's room for improvement," she said. "I didn't show my best today but I played well when I needed to."
Today's showdown against Dementieva will be fascinating as the winner will be strong favourite to reach the final. Dementieva eased past Flavia Pennetta 6-4, 6-2, overwhelming the Italian with her aggressive ball-striking in the second set.
Dementieva has won four of her six matches against Zvonareva but she has always been the favourite in the past. 2010 has been the first time Zvonareva has stepped out of the shadow of her illustrious compatriots and with two grand slam finals now under her belt it will be interesting to see if she approaches this match with increased confidence.
Dementieva has won all of their big matches, winning twice at the US Open, at the 2008 French Open and in the semis of the Beijing Olympics. However Zvonareva took the last one, 7-6, 3-6, 6-3 at the 2008 end of year WTA Tour Championships.
