World number 1, Dinara Safina, fell to compatriot Svetlana Kuznetsova in the finals of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix on Sunday. In the all-Russian final, the 5th seeded Kuznetsova dismissed Safina in 2 easy sets. Around this time last year, Safina started making her run towards the top as she trounced Justine Henin in Berlin and reached the finals of the French. Kuznetsova, a former U.S. Open champion, beat the top 2 seeds on her way to the title, and looks like she is in top form and ready to make a big run at Roland Garros. This is Kuzzie's first title since 2007, when she defeated Agnes Szavay in a controversial final.
