| | | Safina's back still giving her numerous problems - now she's out of the compulsory Indian Wells event. Hmm, how much longer can she hang onto this ranking? |

| | Sad news from Tennis in depth:
The back injury that cost Dinara Safina the world No. 1 ranking at last year's WTA championships has plunged the 23-year-old's career into serious jeopardy.
Russian Safina last night flew from Melbourne to see her German back specialist in a desperate attempt to find a cure for the injury.
Last year's Australian Open finalist was clearly in agony when forced to retire from her clash against compatriot Maria Kirilenko on Sunday.
Safina had been plagued by the injury since the middle of last year and when she retired from the WTA Championships in Doha against Serbian Jelena Jankovic it saw American Serena Williams elevated to the No. 1 ranking.
Cortisone shots and several months of intense rehabilitation had seen her passed fit to play, but as she said after her withdrawal against Kirilenko, "I just cannot move".
She describes the problem as a "bone edema" in her lower back.

| | Safina has confirmed that she retired from her match with Kirilenko with the same injury that forced her to miss the season-ending WTA Championships.
Safina: "It feels exactly the same like in Doha. Exactly the same. I just cannot move anywhere. The physio asked me to lie on the table. I said 'I cannot lie'. I cannot make any movement. Whatever I try to move, it hurts terribly."

| | Safina after she beat Rybarikova:
"I think at the end of last year I was tired and exhausted, like I had no more fun on the court."
"But now I feel like I'm back and I'm enjoying every moment on the court.
That was missing last year. Last year I was pushing myself every time, like, okay I have to do it, but now I do it with much more desire."
