Dinara Safina and The French Open, Paris

First of the four Grand slam titles and the recent Madrid final winner Russian player Dinara Safina currently ranked World no1 in Tennis circles ahead of names such as Serena Williams, looks to be on cracking form and looking every inch a world No1 performer. The French Open is underway, with the initial rounds taking place. Photo below of Dinara on a practice session on 22 May at Roland Garros in Paris before the event proper.

Her recent first round match was against Anne Keothavong of the UK, (pictured below)currently our best offering and ranked World No48. Dinara Safina proved her world ranking and class which some have doubted, with a 6-0, 6-0 straight sets win, a total victory if ever there was, not even allowing Anne Keothavong to taste a one point victory. The total crushing of Keothavong on centre court took a mere 61 minutes.

All eyes are on Dinara, her Madrid win was on a clay court and The French Open is more of the same and will suit her style of play. It’s a grand slam title and one that is coveted and highly respected and one that Dinara is eager to win.Â A win here would increase further her World No1 lead and respect within tennis circles quashing any remaining doubters, Â and place her very nicely into a good seeding for the Grand Slam that is Wimbledon, on its way very soon!
