Elena Dementieva, who struggled with a calf injury in the third round, has bolted into the quarterfinals in Paris after defeating Chanelle Scheepers 6-1, 6-3. A second serve that was out by well over a meter gave Dementieva the first set in just 30 minutes.
Scheepers put up more of a battle in the second set but was eventually surpassed by the Russian in just 74 minutes.
Dementieva’s calf will have a tough test in the quarterfinals against either Venus Williams or Nadia Petrova.
