Dementieva. Performing better in GSs too. Petrova is not far behind Because Petrova is consistent on other tournaments

 

[UDACHi]

dementieva's will be more memorable because she has the flashier accomplishments with the 2 slam finals.

she's a little ahead right now due to longevity.

 

[Perseust]

Dementieva does have that Silver Medal from Olympics in Australia

 

[AnnaK_4ever]

Dementieva.
Better results at Grand Slams.
Almost the same amount of titles. And Petrova was No.3 only for 4 weeks so Dementieva has the edge in terms of the rankings too.

 

[DownTheLine21]

Dementieva.

 

[cellophane]

Dementieva, but Nadia will probably be better if Elena doesn't turn it around soon.

 

[K-Dog]

For sure Elena. She has proven herself in slams. The only semi Nadia reached was a one sided affair in the favor of Justine. The slams are where champions and names are made.

 

[The Daviator]

Until Petrova wins a Slam or reaches 2 Slam finals, Dementieva

 

[AnnaK_4ever]

For sure Elena. She has proven herself in slams. The only semi Nadia reached was a one sided affair in the favor of Justine. The slams are where champions and names are made.

Nadia reached two RG semifinals...

 

[KV]

Elena just about.

 

[Volcana]

For sure Elena. She has proven herself in slams.

Generally, only winning a slam is considered proof of champiohship mettle. What did the 2004 RG final prove about Dementieva?

Well what did the USO SF 04 prove about her

Dementieva has had the better and longer career too

 

[Hashim.]

Dementieva

 

[faboozadoo15]

Lena for sure. Slams and the silver medal do it for me, at least.

[azmad_88]

Nadia reached two RG semifinals...

In addition to Elena's 2 finals, she has 2 other USO Sfs

 

[Antarctica]

elena, for sure

 

[Volcana]

I find this interesting. Winning more and bigger tournaments is not the measure of who's better for a lot of you.

Well they're really close in those areas. Dementieva has been the better player for a lot longer too, but without tournament wins. Petrova has really only been good the last 2 years.

Considering we're talking about Russians, it's also HUGE that Lena has a silver medal.

But if they keep going like they are, Petrova will unseat Lena.
