Back injury forces Safina to retire in Marbella

The lower back problem that kept Dinara Safina off the tour for a long time returned today in Marbella. The former world number 1 had to retire against Victoria Azarenka in the first set of their quarterfinal match. Safina's back injury was originally suspected to be career-threatening, and she had to leave the tour twice because of it. She has since struggled to make a comeback, and was given a wild card to play in Marbella.

    Just when she seemed to be making progress. Wish her well.

    I was afraid this was going to happen. Poor Dinara.

    This cannot succeed in reality, that is exactly what I suppose.
