Dementieva wins U.S. Open Series

Elena Dementieva has won the 2009 Olympus U.S. Open Series. Dementieva--a favorite going into the U.S. Open--won the Rogers Cup, and made it to the semifinals in both Stanford and Cincinnati. Coming in second was Flavia Pennetta, who tied with Jelena Jankovic in points, but whose participation level in the series was greater.

Dementieva, Pennetta and Jankovic now stand to win bonus prize money at the U.S. Open.
