Dementieva beats Myskina in Japan

Elena Dementieva advanced to the Toray PPO final with a 6-3 3-6 6-4 victory over fourth seed Anastasia Myskina. Sharapova shouldn't be so defensive about being a one-hit wonder so far - Kuznetsova and Myskina are in far greater danger of being a one-hit wonder than Sharapova is. She will meet Martina HIngis in the final:

"Martina is a good player and it's exciting to see her back," Dementieva said. "But that doesn't mean I won't be playing and I'll do everthing possible to beat her."
