In today’s final, the ninth-ranked Dementieva will face 17th-ranked Dinara Safina, who beat 18-year-old Victoria Azarenka of Belarus 6-4, 6-1.
Dementieva took advantage of Ivanovic’s forehand errors and fought off a set point at 5-4 in the second set before closing out the match when the Serb missed with a crosscourt backhand.
Dementieva, who ousted fifth-ranked Jelena Jankovic earlier this week, ran her record to 4-0 against Ivanovic.
Ivanovic was on the court for the second time Saturday after completing a 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 quarterfinals win against Hungary’s Agnes Szavay. The match was halted Friday night by darkness.
Roddick, Stepanek withdraw
ROME – The biggest losers at the Rome Masters on Saturday were the fans.
One after the other, Andy Roddick and Radek Stepanek quit shortly after their semifinal matches began.
Roddick pulled out with a back problem after falling behind 3-0 in the first set against Stanislas Wawrinka. Stepanek stopped while trailing Novak Djokovic 6-0, 1-0 after appearing affected by the heat.
Total elapsed time for the two matches: a wimpy 49 minutes.
“You don’t want to have these kind of situations at big events,”said Djokovic, who joined the chorus of players complaining that the schedule is too tough.
“The players are not getting injured for nothing, you know. There is a big reason why they’re having these difficulties. I understand that because I was in that situation many times.”
Roddick pulled up awkwardly after Wawrinka hit a forehand winner in the third game, then asked for a trainer on the changeover. He came back out and double-faulted, then quit.
