Safina is still yet to win a Grand Slam title but she has twice reached the final. Dinara Safina is the 19th woman to top the rankings since they were introduced in 1975.

Safina won four titles last year, but lost to Serena Williams at the Australian Open this year, who she replaced as world number one.
