MOSCOW -- Jelena Dokic reached her fourth final of the year, beating Silvia Farina-Elia of Italy 6-4, 6-3 Saturday in the semifinals of the $2.2 million Kremlin Cup.

	Jelena Dokic returns to Silvia Farina-Elia on Saturday.

The 18-year-old Yugoslav will play Elena Dementieva for the title Sunday. Dementieva, seeded eighth, downed wild card Anastasia Myskina 6-7 (7), 6-1, 7-5 in an all-Russian semifinal.

On the men's side, Yevgeny Kafelnikov and Germany's Nicolas Kiefer both recorded comfortable straight sets victories to reach the final.

Dementieva is ranked 13th and seeking her first title. She has a sore shoulder and is not sure how strong she will be Sunday.

"But all these games I've been playing have been aimed at the final," she said. "I'll have to get it together."

Dokic, seeded fifth, broke Farina-Elia in the 10th game to win the first set in 36 minutes. In the second set, Dokic saved two break points before hitting a winning forehand. She closed the set against the sixth-seeded Italian in 34 minutes.

"I played not at all badly today and consider myself ready for the final," Dokic said.

Dokic, ranked 11th, won her first title at the Italian Open in May to reach the top 20. Starting with the French Open at the end of May, she hasn't missed a single week, playing 16 straight tournaments, with a 31-14 record.

Dokic beat Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario in the final of the Toyota Princess Cup two weeks ago for her second title.

Dementieva, the Olympic silver medalist, upset Martina Hingis on Friday in the quarterfinals.

In the first set, Myskina squandered a 5-2 lead but escaped when Dementieva double faulted during the tiebreaker. Dementieva had no trouble in the second set, winning five games in a row.

Myskina was down 5-6 down and love-40 on her serve in the 12th game of the third set. She saved on a break point before hitting a return wide to lose the match.

"We know each other so well and I had kept losing to her so I was prepared for a defeat today," Dementieva said.

"I felt she was stronger than me on the court today, but I probably won because I kept moving up to the net.

"Last time, I kept trying to put pressure on her and she simply waited for me to make a mistake and I paid for it."

Both Dementieva and Dokic said the noisy Moscow crowds which have applauded and jeered competitors all week could play a decisive role in the final.

"The crowd in Russia puts a lot of pressure on the players because they want you to win and if you don't win they're not with you and give you a hard time," Dokic said.

"I don't think it's a good situation for any of the Russians. Marat Safin had the same problem. I would not want to have a crowd like this one with me."

Kafelnikov, who has won this tournament for the past four years, needed 62 minutes to dispatch German fourth seed Tommy Haas 6-1, 6-2, with a noisy crowd cheering his every shot.

Kiefer also cruised to a 6-4, 6-3 win over unseeded Slovak Dominik Hrbaty.

Kafelnikov conceded that home advantage, with Moscow's boisterous fans, would help him in Sunday's final, but admitted that Kiefer would be a formidable opponent.

"He is a difficult opponent and quite frankly I would rather not be playing him," the Olympic champion said.

"He has his own special style which I find difficult. I think that tomorrow the support from the crowd will give me the extra psychological boost I need."

Kiefer, meanwhile, said his easy win over Hrbaty belied his opponent's excellent record.

"I had my game against him and I played well," he said. "I took my time and I think that is important against Dominik. This is good for my confidence."
