All News and Blogs August 11, 2009 Dinara Edges Vinci in CincyAfter receiving a first round bye, top seed Dinara was pushed to the brink of defeat in second round action Tuesday at the Western & Southern Financial Group Women’s Open in Cincinnati. The Russian had to rally from deficits of 3-0 and 5-3 in the second set and 3-1 in the third to overcome Roberta Vinci, 26 75 64. “I started pretty good, actually,” said Dinara, who is playing this event for the first time. “Two-love up, and to lose nine games in a row, I was like, ‘Okay, that’s interesting.’ I was playing all over the place. At 3-love I called my coach, and he said, ‘Okay, maybe change the racquet.’ Maybe this helped me.” Dinara converted on eight of 11 break point opportunities against the 26-year-old Italian, against whom she’s now 3-0 all-time. “Slowly I think she got tight,” Dinara said of Vinci. “I don’t know what happened to her because I was completely off. That happens, you know.” Dinara explained why her left hand is bandaged. “It’s since Los Angeles,” she said. “I would say I lost a bet with a coconut. I was trying to open a coconut, and actually didn’t open it very good because the knife slipped and it went straight into my hand. It was pretty deep. Actually, I was lucky that I was able to play in Los Angeles, because until the day before the tournament I didn’t hit any backhands. It’s better, but I was also lucky that I didn’t touch any ligaments. They didn’t put in stitches because the doctor was not there on site. Now it’s okay.” source: www.dsafina.com well, CONGRATS SO MUCH! i was scared when i saw the scores. it was kind of scaring me. she almost give the game to Vinci. but thank God, she's still in the game. Praise the Lord. and mostly she's okay despite the bandage. curse that coconut! ;D Be the best and God bless you Dinara! Take care!

August 13, 2009 Dinara to Clash With Clijsters in CincinnatiNo.1 seed Dinara defeated Peng Shuai, 63 64, in third round action at the Western & Southern Financial Group Women’s Open in Cincinnati on Thursday night. Dinara, who will remain the No.1 player in the world at the start of the US Open regardless of her results between now and then, raised her career record to 3-1 against Peng, having now won three in a row in the series, including a victory in Indian Wells earlier this year. Next up for Dinara is a Friday showdown with Kim Clijsters, who has reeled off three impressive wins this week in her first tournament back on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour after a two-year absence. Dinara said she’s not surprised that the Belgian is already showing her old form. “You cannot lose your talent,” Dinara said. “It is there. If you are a great player, it doesn’t matter. Give Sampras a racquet now and he will play exactly the same. Maybe she will be a little bit slower, but she’s still young. These players, I believe they don’t lose anything.” HORAAAAAYYYY! nice! Dinara made it to the Quarters. well, her next opponent will be Kim Clijsters. waa! i'm excited but at the same time nervous for this one. Kim's playing pretty good. waa. May the best win. Be the best Dinara and God bless you! Take care. ;D

August 14, 2009 Dinara Conquers Clijsters in CincinnatiDinara recorded an impressive 62 75 victory over comeback kid Kim Clijsters Friday afternoon in the quarterfinals of the Western & Southern Financial Group Women’s Open in Cincinnati. Dinara has now beaten Clijsters just twice in eight career meetings, thought most of those clashes were early in the Russian’s career. This was Clijsters’ first event back after a two-year absence from the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour, and she had been on a roll, having knocked off No.12 seed Marion Bartoli, Patty Schnyder and No.5 seed Svetlana Kuznetsova, before encountering Dinara. “Slowly I’m getting into the tournament,” Dinara said. “Sometimes it happens, like you have to play one match that’s kind of a disaster. You can’t put the ball inside, everything is flying, you don’t know what you’re doing on the court. Somehow you manage to win the match. The next day you have the day off, then yesterday was a little bit better and today a completely different game. This is tennis.” source: www.dsafina.com GOOOOODD NEWS! waa. she won against Kim. woah! i didn't expect that it's going to be a 2-set match. but nice game! very nice! well, God bless Kim on her come back. she's doing really well. next, Dinara's SF opponent will be Flavia Pennetta. urgh. i think it's going to be a tough match because Flavia is an in-form player. i'm getting excited at the same time nervous again! well, may the best win! Be the best Dinara and God bless you! Take care! ;D

August 15, 2009 Dinara Pummels Pennetta in Cincy SemisDinara routed 14th-seeded Flavia Pennetta, 62 60, in 56 minutes in semifinal action Saturday at the Western & Southern Financial Group Women’s Open in Cincinnati. Even though Pennetta was fresh off a title last week in Los Angeles and riding a 15-match win streak, the ease of the result wasn’t a huge surprise, considering Dinara was 6-0 all-time against the Italian prior to Saturday. “That’s how it goes when you play top players,” said Dinara, who will be going after her fourth Sony Ericsson WTA Tour singles title of 2009 on Sunday. ”Either you start to dominate or they dominate you.” Dinara said her confidence has grown with each match she’s played this week. “Every match I feel better,” she said. “Today, stepping on the court, I was feeling very good and confident.” ooh! another win for Dinara. nice game! well, Flavia must be really tired but the good news is that on Monday she will be the first Italian to be ranked 10. a new face at the WTA Top 10. on the finals, Dinara will either face Elena Dementieva or Jelena Jankovic. well, May the best win. ;D Be the best Dinara and God bless you! Take care of yourself.
