Dinara Safina of Russia plays a shot against Lourdes Dominguez Lino of Spain during the Ladies' Singles first round match in the 2009 Wimbledon Tennis Championships in Wimbledon of London, June 23 2009. Dinara Safina won 2-0.
It was the Russian's first match at a major tournament since losing the French Open final to compatriot Svetlana Kuznetsova this month. Safina is 0-3 in grand slam finals. Sixth seeded Jelena Jankovic clawed her way back from 2-5 down in the second set to beat German Julia Goerges 6-4, 7-6 (0).
While the bubbly Serbian skipped back into the locker room, her namesake Jelena Dokic buried her head in a towel after her return to Wimbledon ended in a 6-3, 5-7, 2-6 defeat by Tatjana Malek of Germany.
Almost four weeks after Dokic left court in floods of tears, when her Roland Garros challenge ended with a back injury, the Serbia-born Australian suffered another blow at the grasscourt major.
A dizzy spell brought on by what she thought might be a virus, ruined her day and she had to have her blood pressure taken on court.
"I wasn't feeling great at the beginning of the second. And that's where things just started going downhill," said Dokic.
China's Li Na also advanced, the 19th seed easing past Galina Voskoboeva of Kazakhstan 7-6 (5), 6-0.
