Safina and Ivanovic are out of the Miami or Sony Ericson Open. How sad. I hope they'll be back for the better and the best!

They are not known to be friends--but relations among the Russians is something on which you certainly can't trust the Western press. [:P]


Masha has been close to Kirilenko for years, and she and Zvonareva are friends and practice together at large tournaments. Through Fed Cup, Maria became friendly with Chaki & Vesnina.


There appears to be a certain distance between Masha & what you might call the "Moscow clique". Some press flaks have tried to suggest they dislike her, but I think there is at least mutual respect among most of the Russian players. [H]

How on earth is it possible that you are so close to the number 1 spot and "does not fight for it" This are Dinara's own words ??????????

She intended that as severe self-criticism--and it should be. I watched her brother win a match then throw it away, but that's a different deal. Marat is near the end of his career & not highly motivated. Dinara is just getting going. Self-inventory is indicated.

I don't know, but it would seem strange if there weren't some friendships among the Russian & Serbian women. We know that Masha is friends with Novak Djokovic. [H]


Victoria Azarenka says Dinara is a friend. Dementieva is a friend of Azareka (and of Dinara). Since Zvonareva & Azarenka are doubles partners, it's logical to assume they are friends. You could make a whole flow chart of who is friends with who. lol

Tarpischev presently has nine players that he calls on for the Fed Cup team. Far as I know, he's not publicly listed them, but the list was made while Masha's condition was totally unknown, so I doubt it. Dinara obviously is, as she's called frequently.


Lenochka played Moscow, but won't play the next tie. Zvonareva is most likely to play in Italy--all I know so far.


Tip on tracking the girls: You think about it--you don't too often see players together in public apart from functions. The Moscow bunch, especially, are a rather private lot. Look for those you occasionally see dining together.


Miami--what she said: went out there with no motivation. Hey, she is a Safin. lol!

oh thanks again! I guess Dinara was just feeling exhausted and weary during Round 3 at Miami as well as Ana Ivanovic and Vera Zvonareva. The three of them both play at Indian Wells and show a magnificent opening match in Round 2 at Miami. I hope they regenerate their energy for the next tournament! God Bless to Dinara Safina and to other WTA players.

Since Shamil didn't name her, I guess not. Probably best--she's working stuff out. Wouldn't want to risk the team. They've got other good clay court players there. [H]

I am confident in Dinara on clay. We should get a better idea at Charleston next week. Odds are good we'll get to see her on live streams. [H]
