Russian Dinara Safina is not seeing gold in her comeback from back injury so far. Since retiring at the Australian Open with her back problem in the fourth round, Safina's comeback has been first round losses at every tournament that she has played.
The former world no. 1 lost yesterday in the first round of the Unicef Open to Magdalena Rybarikova. The Slovakian won 6-7, 6-4, 6-4.
The lost marked Safina's fifth straight firs round exits. She has lost to every unseeded players including veteran Kimiko Data Krumm at the French Open.
