Fifth seed Elena Dementieva, the highest women’s seed remaining at Wimbledon, breezed into the quarter-finals on Monday with a 6-2 6-1 victory over Shahar Peer of Israel.

Despite making the greater number of unforced errors, the 26-year-old Russian, who made the last-eight here for the first and only time two years ago, dominated from the start breaking the 24th seed at either end of the first set.

Peer, clearly still feeling the effects of Saturday’s draining three hour and 25 minute win over Dinara Safina, rallied admirably at times but was unable to carve out any real opportunities.

Dementieva, a beaten finalist in the French and U.S. Opens in 2004, next faces compatriot Nadia Petrova after the 21st seed beat another Russian Alla Kudryavtseva.
