Dinara Safina withdrew from the WTA Championships when a back injury left her crying in pain. Safina, her eyes welling with tears, said that one of the disks in her lower back was “starting to fracture.” The problem had been bothering her for months, since at least the US Open, but anti-inflammatory injections had helped smother the pain. By Doha, however, where she returned to defend her title, the injury had flared again. Safina was told by doctors that she may be sidelined for at least six weeks; it’s not likely that she will be in the best of shape for the Australian Open in January of next year. The player had returned to the No. 1 spot in the world rankings just this week, but with a thin margin of difference between Safina and Serena Williams, the position depended heavily on the results of the Doha tournament.

Now, with Safina making an early exit from the tournament, Serena has secured the No. 1 spot and is the favorite for the WTA title as well. Serena won the Australian Open and the Wimbledon titles this year; this is the first season in which she will end as the No. 1 player in the world since 2002.

Williams won her first match in Doha on Tuesday; she went on to beat her sister Venus 5-7, 6-4, 7-6(4) on Wednesday. After the match, Serena said that she felt great being No. 1 again, although she paid her respects to her injured colleague. “Dinara is such a great player. She must be really hurt, because she never gives up” the new No. 1 said. It was during Wednesday’s match that Safina, quite literally, threw her towel in. She was serving 1-1 in a match against Jelena Jankovic when, in the third game, she approached her chair, tossed a towel over her face, and announced her withdrawal.

She was replaced by her compatriot Vera Zvoraneva. “I did everything possible to play here,” Safina said. “As I was chasing this No. 1 (ranking), I was fighting with my body. Maybe I had to stop after the U.S. Open. But then for two tournaments, let’s say Beijing and Tokyo, it was quiet, it didn’t bother me that much,” she said. “But then my body just gave up.” Doha is the last major tournament of the season for the top eight players in the world. Safina will face a tough offseason, as she will need to return to good health in order to compete in the Australian Open in late January, where she lost this year’s final to Serena Williams. Doctors have suggested that, if her body does not recover enough, Safina may have to skip the Australian Open as well. Safina added that the rehabilitation process was going to be a long one for her.

She said that she would spend the offseason trying to strengthen her core to help her “hold” herself. Safina was the runner-up this year to Williams. She lost the French Open final to Svetlana Kuznetsova, leaving her still looking for her first Grand Slam title, a not-so-minor detail on her record that has led to persistent questions about her top position in the rankings. But she has been one of the most consistent performers throughout the year, winning titles in Rome, Madrid, and Portoroz, and held the top spot for 26 weeks.
