The 27-year-old Dementieva needed just 59 minutes to dispatch Kulikova on Court One today, battering the qualifier with heavy winners from both sides. The 191st-ranked Kulikova made her grand slam main draw debut at Wimbledon at this year's event and beat Karolina Sprem and 27th-seeded Alisa Kleybanova in the previous rounds.
But Dementieva was too strong, quickly taking a 5-0 lead in the first set and breaking twice in the second set.
