a score of 62 64."I was feeling confident from the beginning and tried to be as aggressive as I could," Safina said. "I got a little bit tired at the end of the match but I was still dominant in the crucial moments. Caroline is a great player - she's very young and has time to improve. I think she can be very dangerous."
"I have come to find my place. I feel comfortable being No.1," said Safina, a runner-up at the 2008 French Open to Ana Ivanovic and the 2009 Australian Open to Serena Williams. "It was my dream from the beginning to be No.1 and I always believed I could get it. Once I got it, I was ready for it. That's why I think I'm enjoying it so much. Since I became No.1 I've played better and better."
