I can tell Maria is tired by the way she's screaming. She's not explosive.
But then again... she's going up against an in-form Elena Dementieva. Elena can hit balls back at anyone day-in, day-out. Plus She's a grinder. And Elena also defeated Serena the match prior. So yeah, it was really inevitable that she'll defeat Maria.
@Nuxice What i mean is that Elena has the game to beat the best players and has done it in the past, but sometimes her nerves just get the best of her. Also I feel that if she changes coaches she will become a major title holder.
You can see how tired Maria is in this match. Look at her movement, she is running slow than her previous matches. The Semifinal match against Kleybanova taken it's toll.
Maria's footwork really sucks here!

@malcomino windy condition interfered masha's power play and made elena's shots seem like really slow

this point was fantastic and dramatic, but far from the best point, it was even not
a winner. I think maria could stroke harder and faster, she just seemed tired at this
point...

@olanbay712 She couldn't hit as hard and close to the lines as usual because it was so windy.

Well, I guess she is tired in here. She can't even use her power shots and just looking at her balls, you'll say she's not in her form.

I think because of the wind, Elena's visor was almost blown by the wind at 0:32. Look at her adjusting it.
