She also lost to eventual champion Dementieva at the Dubai Tennis Championships in the second round. She made her first third round of the year at the Pacific Life Open, losing to Maria Sharapova, this was the start of good showings from the Ukrainian. She, however, lost to Kaia Kanepi in the second round of the Sony Ericsson Open, after receiving a bye.
