Dinara Safina retires from tennis due to problems with her back.

After winning 12 WTA-titles and 11 times losing finalist, Safina's professional career has ended. She was also second in Beijing 2008 and in 2009 she was several weeks number 1.

She received some criticisms because she was number 1 without winning a Grand-Slam tournament. But her performances for the Russian team were certainly remarkable. She helped her team 4 times to the title in the Fedcup.
