Dementieva is champion
HONG KONG,
JAN. 8.
Elena Dementieva cruised past defending champion Venus Williams, beating her 6-3, 6-2 on Saturday to win the Hong Kong's Champions Challenge tennis tournament.
Dementieva broke Williams three times in the first set, while losing her service once. It was Dementieva's first win since her victory at Hasselt in Belgium last year.
Before the match, organisers auctioned off rackets belonging to the players, raising 1.6 million Hong Kong dollars ($205,128) for the victims of the December 26 tsunami disaster. Sharapova's racket fetched HK$520,000 ($66,660) while that of Williams got HK$400,000 (US$51,280). — AP
