Is dinara safina biggest show spoiler in womens tennis with her come back attitude?

Question

she broke heart of maria sharapova by coming back frm a set down and trailing in second set in FO 2006 and 2008, she did it to poor dementieva also and then she did it to alla kudryatseva in toronto and in the same tournament she stopped jelena jankovic from being new world no 1. i realy didnt like when she did it to poor n descent dementieva, if safina wants to win then why doesnt she win in descent manner, she is disappointing and show spoiler.

Answer 1

Safina has shown potentials during her teenage years but she hasn't lived up to that with her attitude and injuries. Her flashes of temperaments still show but I think she has controlled them better as she has found tremendous success of late.

Though I'm a huge Sharapova and Dementieva fan and was disheartened that Safina beat them by her trademake COMEBACK, I'm actually happy for Safina. It's great to see a talented and powerful player rise and challenge the players on top.

She's now a potential Grand Slam champion! If she wins matches by her trademark COMEBACKS, that's more exciting than trashing an opponent. Admit it, some players are better when they are pressured and Dementieva is one of them...

Answer 2

I dislike Safina as well because of her poor attitude on the court, and I hate it when she comes back to win, but it's not fair to say that she must win in straight sets in order to win or else throw in the towel.  She does not lose the first few sets on purpose, and so coming back to win is no less professional than to do it in quick fashion.

Of course, she shares professional attitude problems with her brother Marat Safin, known for blowing up and smashing rackets on the court, in addition to dropping his pants after winning Roland Garros, which is why I dislike both of them, but coming back to win is not a matter of respect for other players.

Answer 3

Isn't this the same thing that Serena and Venus used to do?  Lose the first set.  

Also Roger used to lose the first  or second set.  I would be screaming at the TV "Don't you know what he is doing to you"   Roger would get an opponent to wear themselves out the first or second set (even if they win) and then comeback and take the next two sets because the opponents  were too tired too go on.

I enjoy Safinara.  She came truly be a great player.  Lose another 20 lbs but keep her strength at her young age and she will go much farther.  Really up and coming.

Answer 4

A decent manner? What more can you expect, want from her, or for that reason, any other challenger ranked lower then the top players? She has displayed her true form last few months and is on a tare. Even gained a new fan in me. I used to not care for her very much, thinking her to be different then she sometimes portrays herself. Since watching several interviews of her, I come to like and enjoy her. She most certainly is a force to be reckoned with and will frustrate her opponents much more. Watching her lately, she appears to have one of the strongest groundstrokes, especially that wicked backhand. If she can just control her nerves a bit more ( though she has done better for sure), and serve out a match quicker, easier for herself, she will succeed much more. I definitely enjoy her control of temperment, and Big Bro, though he has mellowed a bit, should take tips from lil sis.

Answer 5

I've seen most top players come back and win the next 2 sets. This is part of what can happen in tennis.  Why shouldn't the players (all the players) try to fight back.  I don't get how they are just suppose to give it.

Answer 6

oh, come on! Safina is just trying to do her job... do you think she did those things purposely? Try to put yourself in her shoes and you would understand... but your feet might be too large for her shoes anyway.

she's got attitude, and she might not be very attractive with her looks, but she is a professional player and she wants to be number 1 also... like her brother Safin (former #1) who has more attitude that she is...

Answer 7

oh u want her to simply give up when she loses the first set? A true champion always finds a way to win even when odds are against her.that includes even when trailing.

She's the comeback queen and i like that about her.She beat Serena, Dementieva back to back by coming from behind to win the match.Now thats a true fighter right there.

Answer 8

I know! She broke my heart when she beat Masha... BUT it's not entirely her doing had Masha, LenaD and JJ play well enough they should definitely beat her... Unfortunately Safina was better on the day> I would have loved it if she did the same thing to Ivanovic though... >:-(

Answer 9

that should be good for her.

Answer 10

Wait a minute. Do you complain when Nadal loses the first set in a match and then fights back to win the match?

Safina is just a slow starter.

Her job is to go out there to compete and win.
