Elena Dementieva goes into her match against Ana Ivanovic as the in-form player, and may be able to beat the former world number one, as she has in all of their previous matches.

The last encounter between these two players was on the clay courts of Berlin in 2008, which perhaps gives us an insight into what might happen here. Ivanovic will want to finally beat Dementieva on what will be her fifth attempt, but the form book suggests that this will not be the case.

However, Ivanovic was the world number 1 in 2008, and it would be ignorant to dismiss her chances here. Her recent form has not been great, despite a solid start to the season in Brisbane, and she will want to put this behind her as soon as possible.

Expect some scintillating tennis in this match, as both players are capable of competing with the best on their day. Neither player requires much of an introduction here, and any match between these two is likely to attract an audience. Dementieva will enter this match as the favourite, but Ivanovic has the capacity to win here also.
