Dementieva reaches French quarters

---

Paris, France (Sports Network) - Former runner-up Elena Dementieva posted a fourth-round victory Monday to reach the quarterfinals at the French Open.

The seventh-seeded Dementieva held off 11th-seeded fellow Russian Vera Zvonareva 6-4, 1-6, 6-2 at Stade Roland Garros.

Dementieva appeared in two Grand Slam finals in 2004, including one here in Paris where she lost to Anastasia Myskina in an all-Russian title bout. That year also marked her only other trip into the French Open quarters.
