Former #1's Jelena Jankovic & Dinara Safina Suffer Losses in Australia Yesterday

Hobart: 1 Marion Bartoli d Dinara Safina - 60 61

These are two ladies that are just hard to write about these days.

It wasn't long ago that each was the #1 woman on the WTA tour.

It's far too soon to write them off but both are struggling to find confidence.

Mightily.

And it's really hard to see either making much noise in Melbourne either.

Which saddens me. But hey, a decent draw and who knows...
