Dinara Safina's performance today left a lot to be desired as we all know. But it hasn't just been today. Her serve all through Australian Open has been faulty at best and her movement and attitude could still do with a touch up. Despite all of these flaws, she is to become the new world number two after the tournament, and probably even the world number one given that she has practically nothing to defend until Berlin, whereas Serena Williams has.
We also think it must be said that the whole quality of the Australian Open tournament for the women has been poor from what we have seen, given that we know that all of the top 50 have really fantastic tennis in them. If we could republish the world rankings on Monday based on the past couple of months and talent alone, here is how ours would look:
1. Serena Williams
2. Elena Dementieva
3. Vera Zvonareva
4. Venus Williams
5. Dinara Safina
6. Jelena Jankovic (we are not impressed)
7. Caroline Wozniacki
8. Svetlana Kuznetsova (she could go there again, if she believed in herself)
9. Victoria Azarenka
10. Nadia Petrova
