Delectable Fed Cup Justine
23/04/2006:

Justine offered another delectable match win for her beloved Belgium by
defeating Elena Dementieva 6-2 6-0 in one hour and 11 minutes on day two of
the world competition. Kim Cljisters defeated Maria Kirilenko earlier.
Belgium leads at 3-1 with the doubles match a muted point for the berth into
the semi-finals to be played in July

It was a cavaliar performance today in the context that Justine lost to Elena
recently in March at Indian Wells. That hardcourt encounter was a long weary
battle of three sets which went close to the three hour mark. In front of her
long time fans, and countrymen Justine gave them more than they could imagine.

The first set featured a very fired up Justine not retreating against the
heavy duty groundstrokes of the Russian. She held serve, and broke Elena with
ease. Unlike the hardcourt match back in the USA, Justine was able to wield
her magical ways with all court tennis. She was on top of the Russian's
machine gun delievery of groundstrokes, and crafted winning shots in a huge
array of flavours. Justine won the first set with sleek confidence to the
approval of her nation 6-2.

The second set was all Justine, and that was what everyone in Belgium came to
see. Slices, drop shots, and dazzle 1-handed backhands; it was quick cut video
highlight tennis. Dementieva wasn't playing poorly, but she had trouble
regaining hermomentum after lost games. Justine on the other hand was determined to make
amends for losing match points in their previous battle. The Belgian didn't
give an inch, and won the second set 6-0.


Final Score 6-2 6-0 in 1 hr 11 min
