Russian Elena Vesnina in easy straight sets on Friday. Dementieva was not in her best form for the first few games of the match, being down 3-1, but then came back to make it 4-3 in her way, holding her serve to make it 5-3, then she lost a game on Vesnina's serve, but managed to close out the first set 6-4.
Then the second set was easily closed out with the score of 6-1.
Vesnina showed signs of bad attitude throughout the match, and so did Dementieva, but that didn't stop them from playing some quality tennis.
"The crowd's support was awesome, not just today but all week," Dementieva said. "It was a pleasure to come here and play this tournament. We all really felt at home here, it was very nice. And for the first time my mom isn't here with me, so I'm especially happy to take this trophy back home for her."
