Elena Dementieva
Hey, if Elena Dementieva wants to frolic in the surf, well, by golly, she's earned the right. We're only 2 1/2 weeks into 2009 and Dementieva already has two WTA singles titles won.
On Saturday, she got past Dinara Safina, 6-3, 2-6, 6-1, to win the Medibank International in Sydney, a warmup for the Australian Open. It is Dementieva's 13th career WTA singles title.
