Aug.05, 2009 by Miki in Rankings, Tennis

Thanks to WTA fellas Kevin and Danny for the chart below comparing Serena’s results against Safina’s. Big edge for Serena in Slam play but the real disparity is looking at Dinara’s tour-only points vs. Serena’s, and that’s why the Russian is No. 1.

Here’s a look at how they stack up over the last 52 weeks entering LA.
