Our first upset watch: Dementieva vs. Amanmuradova

We had our first upset watch of the tournament, although it was brief one...

Fifth-seeded Elena Dementieva of Russia had a hard time in the earlygoing with unseeded Akgui Amanmuradova of Uzbekistan before pulling through for a 6-4, 7-5 victory.

But it wasn't without some stress for Dementieva, even if it doesn't show in the final score.

They were tied at 4 in their first set before Dementieva's talent showed its face and she overpowered her opponent for a 6-4 win.

But then in the second set it got worse for the Russian. Amanmuradova actually led 5-3 and had a chance to close out Dementieva and force a third set, with all the momentum on her side. But Amanmuradova crumpled under the press of the moment, and Dementieva won four straight games to advance to the second round.

Crisis averted.
