World Ranking 9
More at home on clay, Safina reached her first Grand Slam final at Roland Garros before losing out to Ana Ivanovic. Her strong run in Paris followed a fine success at the Berlin Open, which elevated her to the world's top 10 for the first time. Has yet to go beyond the third round at SW19, where she was beaten in round two by Akiko Morigami 12 months ago, but reached the final of a recent warm-up tournament in Holland. A potential dark horse.
