Getting your player ready...
Dinara Safina may just be the most underappreciated No. 1 in women’s tennis. Why is that? “I guess they’re jealous that I’m so young and No. 1,” Safina said at the Madrid Open. “I don’t know. I really don’t know.” Only Evonne Goolagong Cawley spent less time atop the rankings than Safina, who will make it five weeks as the best women’s player following the tournament in the Spanish capital. Safina, who will be top seed at this month’s French Open, doesn’t believe the majors should be the only benchmark. “I beat almost all the top-10 players, so I think I deserve that spot,” she said.
