Safina and Dementieva set to miss Fed Cup final 1 Sep 2008, 2002 hrs IST MOSCOW: Russian tennis stars Dinara Safina and Elena Dementieva are likely to miss the Fed Cup final clash with Spain in Madrid on September 13-14, Russian skipper Shamil Tarpishchev said on Monday. Last month Dementieva won the Beijing Olympic tennis tournament beating compatriot Safina in the final. "Safina and Dementieva are both battling for the first place in the world rankings," Tarpishchev said. "I don't want to deprive them both of the chance to top the world rankings if I call them to play in the Fed Cup final." Tarpishchev said that Svetlana Kuznetsova and Elena Vesnina would be competing, adding that he would finalize the remaining two players later." Looks like the lat two will be Petrova and Chackvetadze. Spain must really fancy their chances now.
