Maria Kirilenko ended Maria Sharapova’s short trip to the Australian Open 2010 in the first round, but can she do the same to Dinara Safina? Safina will enter the match coming off her most convincing win of the tournament, and despite all the criticism she’s had thrown in her general direction in the past 12 months, is actually a pretty good player. She’s been a bit scratchy on return from a back injury, but Safina’s now had three matches to play herself back into form and is looking a lot better than she did at last year’s US Open.
