Dinara won her second round match against Flavia Penetta 6-4 2-6 6-4.
In the quarterfinals though, she lost to Shahar Peer 6-4 1-6 6-7(8) after having 5 matchpoints... This means she will lose points as she won the tournament last year.

Next, she will play the Medibank International at Sydney.

We're back!

Hey everybody! I'm Anna and i'm 14 years old. I've been into tennis for more than 2 years now and right away, I was a Dinara fan. I was a Marat fan before I came to find out that he had a sister and I began to watch her matches and her results and I just totally grew to love her. :D Other players I like are Tatiana Golovin, Maria Sharapova, Camille Pin, Marion Bartoli, Maria Kirilenko, Igor Andreev, Donald Young, Andy Roddick, Arnaud Clement, Richard Gasquet... and like 50 million more.

Dinara is now in the semifinals of the Kremlin Cup (Tier I)!

1R: def. Muller 6-1 6-3
2R: def. Chakvetadze 7-6 6-2
QF: def Zvonareva 6-2 3-6 6-3

And she will play Elena Dementieva in the semi finals tommarow first on center court! Davai Dina!

As for doubles, she has been playing with Elena Likhovtseva and so far, they are doing quite well together as the 3rd seeded team.

1R: def. Chakvetadze/Zvonareva 6-3 6-3
QF: def. Jidkova/Kustova 6-2 6-2

and next they face the #1 seeded players Black and Huber. Good Luck girls!

US Open doubles Champion!!!!!

So I must admit, I was not following the doubles tournament at all, and then found out Dinara and Natalie Dechy made it to the doubles final together!
They played that final yesterday and they won!!

2nd round result

Thu, 21 Jun 2007 06:06:56 GMT

One year ago, Michaella Krajicek thrilled her home crowd by winning the Ordina Open, but the woman she beat for the title was the one that stopped her from repeating this year; Russia's Dinara Safina got her revenge at 's-Hertogenbosch, ousting the Dutch teen in the round of 16, 64 36 64.

The No.4-seeded Safina served just that littie bit better than Krajicek in what turned out to be a two-hour, 27-minute thriller, blasting 14 aces to 10 for her opponent and grabbing the third set break; the breaks of serve were few and far between, with just one per set.

"Dinara played really well today," Krajicek stated after the match. "I tried to get everything out of the match that I could, but it didn't work out for me."

While Krajicek won their first meeting in the final here a year ago, Safina has completely taken over their head-to-head series since, winning in straight sets earlier this year at Paris [Indoors], Antwerp and Amelia Island, and now moving ahead 4-1 against her young rival with the three set win here.

I believe that her next tournament is in my very own country, the Ordina Open. (no, I'm not going there unfortunatly...)

Internazionali BNL d'Italia

Fri, 18 May 2007 17:40:32 GMT

Former Rome finalist Dinara Safina was no match for number two seed Svetlana Kuznetsova on Friday.

Without much of a fight Svetlana moved through to the semi-final 61 63, avenging on the way her three-sets defeat by her Russian comrade in the Rome semi-finals last year.

Kuznetsova was solid, putting away the short balls and attacking the short serves, whereas Safina was out of sorts. The result was a quick one-sided match lasting little more than an hour.
Dinara, who coming into the match had a 3-3 head-to-head with Svetlana, wanted to go for her shots, but she could not connect. She hit both aces and doubles faults in the same service game and looking slow and lumbering around court.

Svetlana pointed out after the match that she had held two key service games when 15-40 and love-30 down, but this detail could not hide the fact that she has yet to be tested this year in Rome.

Kuzetsova, who has not won a title in 2007, will play the winner of the floodlit match between number nine seed Daniela Hantuchova and unseeded Anabel Medina Garrigues.
