Wimbledon 2009 Round 4 Results: Dinara Safina Drops First Set but Battles Past Amelie Mauresmo to Reach Quarterfinals at All England Club

Dinara Safina stayed on course for her first career Grand Slam singles title on Monday after battling her way to a three set victory over Amelie Mauresmo 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 to reach the quarterfinals of Wimbledon.

Safina managed to overcome five double faults and 33 unforced errors to beat Mauresmo and that victory was due in large part to her ability to capitalize on break point opportunities. The Russian collected five break points on seven chances while Mauresmo had four on eleven chances.

Safina has reached the finals of the French Open the last two years but fell to Ana Ivanovic in 2008 and then Svetlana Kuznetsova earlier this year. In 2009 she reached the finals at the Australian Open but again fell, this time to Serena Williams. Despite never winning a Grand Slam singles title Safina reached the number one in the rankings on April 27, 2009.
