    Safina is the future of WTA Tour- the dawn of Dinara Dominance has just initiated. The ascension to World No. 1 poses a statement within itself. Finally, those who discredit Dina can no longer deny the truth; despite the fact this Wo.1 ranking was not acquired via recent success, it was due to a progressive accumulation of consistent wins, commencing with Roland Garros last year. The upper eschelon of commentators and spectators of the game have always asserted she is has the 'talent', but Dina's consistency was arguably the critical factor which had marred early success and inhibited her potential. She unlocked the solutions during the latter half of 08 and the impending consistent success truly justifies this ascension in the WTA to ultimate supremacy. Let's hope this signifies the restoration of Dina dominance on the tour, an emulation of late 08 and a milestone for the next exciting chapter of Women's tennis. To infinite success and beyond!

    Edit: To reader directly above:

    Serena failed to protect her tournament ranking points via losing in the first round to Klara, whilst Dina progressively accumulated them from last year and where were your brilliant 'consistent' Williams at the Olympics last year, oh I remember, they were so consistent, they both lost before Dina!

    Official reasons as to why Dina is at the pinnacle of women's professional tennis: as precisely summarised by

    http://www.sonyericssonwtatour.com/1/newsroom/stor...

    Safina has won four Tour titles over the last 12 months: the Qatar Telecom German Open in Berlin (last May), the East West Bank Classic in Los Angeles and the Rogers Cup in Montréal (last summer) and the Toray Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo (last fall). She has also finished runner-up five times, twice on the Grand Slam stage: Roland Garros last year [where were Elena and the Williams? Well Elena LOST TO Dina in the quarters in a three setter, after eradicating Shriekapova and subsequently beating Kuzy. Venus succumbed to Pennetta and Serena, well, what can we say, a third round loss to Srebotnik.] and the Australian Open this year). Last year she also became the first player ever to beat three different reigning world No.1s in the same season (Henin, Sharapova, Jankovic). The Russian's ranking vaulted from No.17 to No.2 last year, bringing her the Tour's Most Improved Player Award for 2008.

    Perhaps your statement 'Dinara didn't even work hard for it' is an intentional paradox because the vital stats as summarised above thoroughly and quintessentially contradict that notion.

    Yes I like to watch her matches. You never know what it's gonna be. Sometimes she plays great matches and is mentally very strong and the other match she is struggling and you can see she is looking for her form.

    As her brother they have both a great talent, but both haven't got the best mental strength, but Dinara plays better than her brother.

    So yes it's fun to watch her!

    whilst her face actual would not strike me as being surpassingly beautiful, she has a thoroughly spectacular physique with long, toned athletic limbs and a taut waistline. Dinara's physique is what truly stands proud as being alluring for me. i think of she's the main athletic looking participant on excursion, very lean and muscular, yet shapely.

    She is my favorite player and has been for a long time. It is funny everyone is starting to care about her because she is going to be the new world number 1. Everyone used to criticize her now all they can do is say how great she is...

    I dont like her or hate her. But I personally dont think she deserves the #1 ranking. She didn't even work hard for it. Besides her final at the AO. SHe never got into another final. Serena Won AO, made it to a bunch of semis and finals. And she was injured as well..
