In Paris Dinara Safina won her main career singles at the indoor event, by beating Amelie Mauresmo. She won the influential doubles rubber in Fed cup final at 2005 Partnering with Elena Dementieva. She astonished World No. 1 Maria in QF of 2005 Kremlin Cup, by winning 1–6, 6–4, 7–5.

 A comeback kid has now completed twice in a row, providing serious credibility to the motto on the supporter supplied T-shirt that she wore on Wednesday at French Open.For Safina the word impossible in nothing this word is at present officially eliminated from the Safina's tennis terms, after 22-year-old Safina saved 2 match points and disturb No. 7 seed, country woman Elena Dementieva, at 4-6, 7-6, 6-0 to move in her semifinal of first Grand Slam singles. Coming from the verge of defeat by world No. 1 tennis player Sharapova in fourth round on Monday was not possible enough. To do it once more, against one more talented player, is more than a dumb luck or short of finish by her challengers.
