It’s been awhile since we’ve had real tennis news to talk about. Dinara Safina is making the headlines right now, because she says that she’s finally feeling better again. She had some big troubles with her lower back towards the end of the 2009 season, leaving her unable to play certain events. She says that she’s ready to play and hopes that she’ll be able to dash back into the lead of the ladies leaderboard once again. She’s still at #1, I believe, but she’s going to need to produce for real in order to make people believe that it was worthwhile. She says she’s rested and ready. She is concerned about the Australian weather, because it’s so hot this time of year, since it’s summer down there. But hopefully the first Australian tournaments can get her a good start to an amazing year.
