To paraphrase the fictional character Carl Kolchak:  "This is news baby, news!"  Dinara Safina is ranked #17 currently.  In her previous five matches against Justine Henin, Safina lost each and every time including two clay court losses to Henin in 2004 (Amelia Island) and 2006 (Charleston).  When you factor in Henin's clear dominance on clay today's upset is shocking, even moreso than Henin's loss last year at Wimbledon to Bartoli.  Sure, any player, even one of high caliber like Henin, can lose on any given day.  Nevertheless, it's still a big upset.

In the match Henin had 7 double faults; she got only 43% of her first serves in; she was broken 8 times by Safina.  A very shaky performance on the dirt that, after the first set, Safina took full advantage of.

The Queen Of Clay had her crown rearranged today.  Which is not to suggest that the crown is about to be knocked off.  Unless there is something truly wrong (in a physical sense) then the Queen should be able to regroup long before Roland Garros.  And of course, Henin will put up a spirited fight.  Sidebar: Serena advanced today at Berlin, defeating Radwanska easily 6-3; 6-1 (unfortunately a duel with Justine will have to wait).
