From cnn.com: Safina takes title in revenge win
Dinara Safina proved she could keep a lid on her emotions when it mattered by beating Martina Hingis 6-3 3-6 7-5 in the final of the Australian women's hardcourt championships on the Gold Coast on Saturday...
The frustrated Swiss had only herself to blame as she let Safina off the hook time and again with her inability to convert the majority of the break-point opportunities she earned.
"I'd like to congratulate Dinara, what a week (you've had)," Hingis said during the presentation ceremony.
"Today she was just too good and everyone should watch her because she's gonna be maybe even better than her brother.
"Marat is such a genius. He can play unbelievable tennis. She (Safina) definitely doesn't have as much touch but she has more will and desire."
Hingis lost to Jankovic too. What a sad day for tennis.
