For many guys, probably this girl is a beautiful tennis player. But in my view, she looks like an innocent little girl. She reminds me with the song "Que Sera Sera"

"When I was only little girl, I asked my mother, what future'll be and blah blah blah."

I just hope she will win at least one Grand Slam Title and not just only become runner-up as what she has achieved last year. The most important thing in my hopes is that whatever she will be and whatever she will achieve, she will always become an innocent little girl who loves animal, likes playing chess, looks after her cactus in Moscow. And hopefully she will have a chance to see animal in Melbourne or in any places around the world. Don't forget to see Panda in China as well, ha ha ha.



Good Luck Elena,

Welcome !! Captain Dementinator here ,Why not join us aboard the SS Dementieva!!
Yes Elena does seem an Innocent "little" (185cm!!!) girl doesnt she!
Its sweetness that is one of her main attractions ,yes shes a beautiful girl ,but in an unforced way that players like Masha simply never will be!!

Uhm, captain, not that I would dare to argue with you, but I think Lena is a bit smaller than that. I think it's 180 cm instead of 185cm. 5 foot and 11 inches comes down at 180 cm according to my calculations...

Please don't throw me overboard...

I'll back you up, if that adds any credibility to your point. Fan sites and the wta all have her at 180cm. It's also in my "Guide to professional tennis." Although, I think they got that number when Elena started, and they don't bother updating, so maybe Elena is a bit taller than that now, but just not officially.

P.S Please don't throw me off either

Last year I was around 186 and when I got her autography after her 2nd round match in Sydney I'd say that I was definitely a few cms taller.

[Dementinator]

well not really sur,e but i am sure she is more than 180cm now ,so i guessed ,maybe around 183cm or so ,at least 6ft most definately,shes way more than 1 and a half inches taller than Myskina!
Same as 141lbs?? no way ,a girl of her height and muscular build will be nearer 165lbs or so ,but as said above the details on websites are not updated since they start so are inaccurate ,Lena will be more than 180cm (5ft 11) take my word for it.
No one will be thrown off, hehe , I gonna have to take a measuring stick and Scales up to her cabin and get the stats updated ,wish me luck!! ,If i aint back soon ,Northa ,You have the bridge!!!!

[Mathijs]

That's okay Capt i'm around, not sure for about how long, but i'll stick here

Mmm i'm guessing as well now, i'm 183 cm, and it can be that she's as tall as me, but it also can be that she's taller then me, let me tell ya sth, i feel very tiny looking to the Dutch youth, if i look to them i think geez i'm just tiny although i'm 183.

But i only can find it out if i see her playing Rosmalen this summer, if she's gonna play, it could be that she will prep herself on Wimb in Moscow like she did last year, or it could also be that i can't see her at all, if i'll be able to go to Rosmalen depends on if i got time to go to Rosmalen that period....

Well, last time I saw her statistics was on the US Open in 2004, and I can remember that her height was stated at 180cm... but of course, that info might be taken from old statistics as well...

[dyonisius]

Whether she is 180 cm, 181 cm, 182 cm, 183 cm or 186 cm, it is not important for me. What I mean as little girl it is not about her physics but her style when she played Jennifer Capriati in the US Open Semi and "another innocent little girl" Svetlana Kuznetsova in US Open Final. Elena and Svetlana are two innocent little girls and they are different from other tennis players. The way Elena plays is like an innocent child, just play the game for fun (though of course she was nervous as well). Look at her expression when she got point, she just smile as an innocent girl and AS she did not understand that she plays in the big match (of course she did understand). On the other hand, Svetlana is also an innocent little girl as well. I can conclude that by listening her speech after she won the US Open Final. Everything just come out from her mouth like a little girl talking to her parents. That's why I always support both of them and not the other beautiful tennis player. There are many players those are more beautiful than them but Elena and Svetlana are different.

I agree
I saw Svetlana at Auzie and she did the same thing
Was very nice, and lovely to Corina, she just say what she thinks
her quotes can be a litle 'bitch' but not cause she want, buta cause she said whitout think

We can't say the same from 'American Sharapova'

[smarties]

Of course you can't rely on the stats on the official guide or site, cause for example,they have, if I remember correctly, Capriati listed at 135lbs
Lena is at least 6ft.
