VERDICT

Enjoyed a fine claycourt season this time last year with runs to the final in Rome and the last eight here. Safina's Paris exploits included a remarkable win over Maria Sharapova - she won six straight games from 1-5 down in the final set. The fans will remember her for that effort, not to mention her name - she is Marat Safin's sister. Hasn't shown her best form this season but a visit to the final in Charleston suggests she could be peaking at just the right time.
