FILDERSTADT, Germany, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Kim Clijsters blew a chance to take the world number one spot from Maria Sharapova this week after losing at the Filderstadt Grand Prix on Friday.

The second seed was beaten 6-3 3-6 6-2 by Elena Dementieva while defending champion Lindsay Davenport overcame another Russian, Anastasia Myskina, 6-2 3-6 6-1 to reach the last four.

Clijsters' defeat ended a 21-match winning streak stretching back to mid-August when she lost to China's Shuai Peng in San Diego. The Belgian had since won four consecutive titles in Toronto, Los Angeles, at the U.S. Open and Luxembourg.

Clijsters had been on course to regain the number one ranking she first earned in 2003 but had to beat Dementieva and Amelie Mauresmo to gain enough points.

The Frenchwoman was playing sixth-seeded Russian Nadia Petrova in the last quarter-final later on Friday.

Top seed Davenport meets Daniela Hantuchova in the semis after the Slovak beat Italy's Flavia Pennetta 6-3 6-4.

CLIJSTERS POUNDED

No player strikes the ball as hard as Dementieva and the number five seed eventually pounded Clijsters into submission.

Her powerful groundstrokes and relentless ability to return the ball in the furiously-contested rallies eventually took their toll on the world number three.

"Of all the matches I've played with her so far this is the best she's ever played against me," said Clijsters, who will now take a break until Hasselt in Belgium starting on October 24.
