Safina ends Dokic's hopes


Russian player, Dinara Safina ended Dokic's amazing tournament, , bowing out in the quarterfinals to world No.3 Dinara Safina in three thrilling close sets, 6-4 4-6 6-4, in front of a packed Rod Laver Arena crowd on Tuesday night.

Dokic, a wildcard at this year’s Open, couldn’t be happier with her performance over the past week despite her comeback being halted by Safina.

“I think it was a good match. Physically I was not in my best shape. I played three sets with the No. 3 player in the world. Everything is positive. I've had a great tournament,” she said post-match.

“Yeah, it's a little bit disappointing. I had some chances, even in that third set, and couldn't hold my serve. [I] had a lot of game points in each game.

“Sometimes things go your way, and sometimes they don't. There's nothing to be disappointed about.”

Dinara will now face Vera Zvonareva.
