The 1st opponent in Safina's way of becoming the next #1 player is Pironkova. They've only played once before, which was in Stuttgart last fall (Safina won 6-1 7-6(6) ).

I think Pironkova could be a tough one :shrug: Surely a lot of us remember Venus was her unsuspecting upset victim in the 1st round of the AO 2006. Additionally, Pironkova stopped Ivanovic from potentially becoming #1 in Rome last year.

I wouldn't be surprised to see this match go 3 sets, regardless of who wins...

Dinara lost in Dubai, but Razzano also beat Vera and made the final.
I think she'll do well with her draw and win this to start

Tsveti has had a good start of the season but I still think Dina should win this match in 2 sets. I hope I'm wrong tho Aide Tsveti !

Tsveti upsets in 3

Safina has been playing bad but still not that bad to go down to Pironkova.

Dinara 6-2, 6-4

 

[Buitenzorg]

Possible upset here, BUT I think

Safina 2-6 7-5 6-1

The 1st opponent in Safina's way of becoming the next #1 player is Pironkova.

So the integrity of the WTA rankings and of the ranking system itself is all on Pironkova's shoulders.
Good luck to her, for the good of the game. :hug:

I hope Pironkova can save the WTA tour, but I think Safina in 3.
