(10) Dinara Safina (RUS) d. Samantha Stosur (AUS) 63 62UDACHi Mar 11th, 2006, 05:05 AM Very pleased with the scoreline, this is a good way to start, Dinara! :bounce: This was surprisingly a break fest. Both girls usually are extremely solid servers, not sure what happened. Oh well, I'll take a straight set win. :D Prizeidiot Mar 11th, 2006, 05:09 AM Ah, bad luck Sam. You can't expect too much from her considering her overseas form last year. She won her first match, and lost to Dinara, who's a fine player. Good effort. gary Mar 11th, 2006, 05:12 AM WELL DONE DINARA :yeah: :D The Kaz Mar 11th, 2006, 05:37 AM Stosur :( TheBoiledEgg Mar 11th, 2006, 06:22 AM Oafette :yeah: :D :) alot easier than expected. Sharapova's_Boy Mar 11th, 2006, 06:34 AM Dinara :worship: tenn_ace Mar 11th, 2006, 06:39 AM Oafette :yeah: :D :) alot easier than expected. I watched it and it looked a lot closer than the score. Dinara wasn;t really dominating. I was surprised how she doesn;t go to the net AT ALL. Stosur was stretched on quite a few occasions giving Dinara good put-aways if Dinara has gone to the net. Dinara just enevr did. :rolleyes: A big improvement in Dinara's game, I thought, was her being much more focused. No tantrums, no frustration - just play. Well done, anyways!
