Not sure if grass is her strength, though...she hasn't made it past the 3rd round at that tournament, but possibly doubles will give her some good results. BTW-what will the surface be for the Olympics? Too bad for Safina, but it brings her up in the rankings and gives her a HUGE confidence boost going into Wimbledon.

Safina should of noticed the nerves of Ivanovic. Great achievement but the tennis was kind of dismal. Safina should of noticed the nerves of Ivanovic.

Safina: admitted to being tired (and who wouldn't be after those comebacks)/first serve adequate but not overpowering/too many poorly struck chances on easy shots; too many awkward, risky shots/showed some good touch coming into court, the but could not maintain focus/rushed in the first set; overly emotional (angry) in the second. Nice, placid, competent work from Ana, the new #1 female tennis player in the world.
