Biography
Early life
Safina was born in Moscow, Russia to Tatar parents. Her mother, tennis coach Rauza Islanova, was her trainer when she was younger. Safina's father is director of the Spartak tennis club in Moscow.
Previously, Safina was coached by Glen Schaap, former trainer of Nadia Petrova. Her current coach is Željko Krajan. She trains in Varazdin, Croatia.
Tennis career
Playing style
Safina is an aggressive baseliner. She likes to take the ball on the rise with full power on every shot. Her sharp angled forehand can set up a point that will be hit with a big and heavy forehand which will be converted to a winner. Her backhand can be flat and heavy and can be devastating on some of her games. She boasts a powerful first serve that sometimes lacks consistency in tight moments. Her primary weakness is her mental toughness, particularly in Grand Slam finals. Her emotions on court can adversely affect her game, though her mental toughness has considerably improved. Safina is also a tenacous fighter, and has made several notable comebacks in her career. One such notable comeback was at the 2008 French Open when she was down 6-7, 2-5 against Maria Sharapova and eventually won 6-7, 7-6, 6-2 after fighting off match point. She was also regarded as one of the most healthy and fit players on tour. Though an adequate lateral mover, she is less nimble moving forward and tends to avoid net play.
2002–2006
On July 29, 2002, she entered into the top 100. She won her first WTA title in Sopot, beating Henrieta Nagyová in the final; in doing so she became the youngest Tour champion in four years and the first qualifier to win a title in three years. In the same year, at the age of 16 in Moscow, she defeated a top 20 player for the first time, 14th seeded (Silvia Farina Elia). On July 14, 2003, she broke into the top 50.
She won her second WTA title over Katarina Srebotnik in Palermo. In that year she also reached the fourth round of the 2003 US Open and the quarterfinals at Doha, Sopot and Shanghai. She beat defending champion Magdalena Maleeva in Moscow.
At the 2004 Australian Open, Safina upset Amanda Coetzer of South Africa before losing to Kim Clijsters of Belgium. For the first time, Safina finished the year in the Top 50, and reached her third career final at Luxembourg where she lost to Alicia Molik. She won the singles title at Open Gaz de France, beating Amélie Mauresmo.
Partnering with Elena Dementieva, she won the doubles rubber in the Fed Cup final in 2005. She defeated World No. 1 Maria Sharapova in the quarterfinals of the 2005 Kremlin Cup 1–6, 6–4, 7–5. In 2006, Safina reached the Tier I Rome final by defeating top 10 players Kim Clijsters, Elena Dementieva, and Svetlana Kuznetsova, beaten only by resurgent Martina Hingis 6–2, 7–5. At the 2006 French Open, Safina made the quarterfinals for the first time in her career. In the fourth round, she beat fourth-seeded Maria Sharapova 7–5, 2–6, 7–5. In the third set, she trailed 1–5 and was down a match point but won after almost 2½ hours of play.
To kick off the grass court season, following her strong performance on clay, she reached her first grass court final at the Ordina Open, losing to Michaella Krajicek 6–3, 6–4. During the 2006 US Open, she again reached a Grand Slam quarterfinal, this time losing to Amélie Mauresmo. She met with greater success in doubles, where she reached the final with partner Katarina Srebotnik. Safina reached two finals, two semifinals, and nine quarterfinals in 2006.

She lost in the third round of her first Tier I event of the year in Indian Wells to Marion Bartoli 6–4, 6–3, and lost in the fourth round at the next Tier I event in Miami to Petrova again 3–6, 6–2, 6–4.
Safina reached her fourth quarterfinal of the year at her first clay event in Amelia Island, Florida, losing to Petrova for the third time in 2007. And at her third Tier I event in Charleston, South Carolina, she would reach her second final of the year, with retirements by Tatiana Golovin and Vera Zvonareva in the quarterfinal and semifinal, losing to Jelena Janković 6–2, 6–2.

Despite never having won a set from Henin in their previous five meetings, Safina won the match 5–7, 6–3, 6–1 after trailing 2–0 in the second set. This was Henin's last match on the WTA Tour before announcing her retirement. Safina then broke Serena Williams's 17-match wining streak in three sets, coming from behind again after losing the first set. In the final, Safina defeated fellow countrywoman Elena Dementieva to win her first Tier I title. In the fourth round of the French Open, Safina defeated World No. 1 and top seeded Maria Sharapova 6–7(6), 7–6(5), 6–2 in a match lasting 2 hours and 52 minutes, saving a match point at 5–3 down in the second set. This marked her second victory over a World No. 1 in less than two months. In the quarterfinals, Safina was again on the brink of defeat in her match with Dementieva after losing the first set 6–4 and trailing 5–2 in the second set. But Safina won 11 of the next 12 games, including saving a match point on her serve at 4-5 in the second set, to win 4–6, 7–6(5), 6–0 to earn her first Grand Slam semifinal. She then went on to defeat another Russian, Svetlana Kuznetsova in the semifinals. In her first Grand Slam final, she was beaten 6–4, 6–3 by Ana Ivanović from Serbia.

In the semifinals, she defeated crowd favourite Li Na in straight sets. In the gold medal match, however, Safina lost to Dementieva in three sets. Seemingly in control after winning the first set, Safina served 17 double faults and committed 54 unforced errors en route to her loss.
