Dina Safina upset her third top-10 player at the German Open today, winning the title by beating ninth-ranked Elena Dementieva 3-6, 6-2, 6-2.
The 17th-ranked Safina also beat No.1 Justine Henin and No.8 Serena Williams at the clay-court warm-up for the french Open.
The 22-year-old Russian overcame a slow start and dropped the first set - just like in her two other upsets - before her shots began to find the lines. Dementieva netted a backhand serve on match point.
Safina, who was seeded 13th, won E127,000 ($A207,500) for her sixth career WTA title and first this year.
The 22-year-old Safina, the sister of two-time Grand Slam winner Marat Safin, has now beaten top-10 players 11 times.
