Five of the Top 10, including world No.1 Dinara Safina and the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour’s two fastest-rising young stars headline the $700,000 LA Women’s Tennis Championships presented by Herbalife – the second staging post in the Olympus US Open Series – this week.

The 56-player draw affords first-round byes to the Top 8 seeds, of which Safina is naturally No.1. The 23-year-old Russian arrives straight from Portoroz in Slovenia where she won her third title of the year with a marathon three-hour victory over Sara Errani, and as the defending champion in Los Angeles, this is where her summer defense of the top ranking gets serious.

BEIJING (Reuters) – Russian world number three Dinara Safina has pulled out of this week’s China Open because of a lower back injury, organisers said on Monday.

The in-form 22-year-old beat compatriot Svetlana Kuznetsova in the final of the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo on Sunday to win her four WTA Tour title this year, and had been third seed for the $600,000 (326,849 pound) tournament in Beijing.

Safina hurt her back during the Japan event and her match against Kuznetsova had “worsened her injury a lot,” organisers said in a statement.

“After consideration, Safina chose to quit the China Open 2008,” the statement added.

The 2008 French Open finalist was among six of the world’s top 10 players to enter the tournament, although number one Serena Williams did not make the trip for the Beijing event that finishes on Sunday.

Olympic semi-finalist Li Na crashed out of the China Open in the first round Tuesday despite high hopes in Beijing for home-grown success.
Li, China’s highest-ranked player, who also reached the fourth round of the US Open, slipped to a 6-1, 7-6 (7-4) defeat against Italy’s Francesca Schiavone in just under two hours.
“Today, I think I was in a hurry and I made many faults,” the 29th-ranked Li said.
Li admitted she had failed to take her chances during the match, for example when serving for the second set at 5-3.
“I’m a little bit afraid of anticipating upcoming matches,” she said, referring to her first round defeats both here and at last week’s Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo.
China’s Zheng Jie, ranked just one place behind Li, starts her bid for a China Open victory later Tuesday.
Zheng reached the Wimbledon semi-finals this summer and lost in the semi-finals of the Guangzhou Open on Saturday.
The best result in the tournament by a local female player was a semi-final finish by Peng Shuai in 2006, who reached the final in Guangzhou over the weekend. She was also due to play later Tuesday.
In other first round matches, Canada’s Aleksandra Wozniak beat Virginie Razzano, from France, 6-7 (3-7), 7-5, 6-4 and Japan’s Ai Sugiyama beat China’s Yan Zi 6-3, 6-4.
Serbians Jelena Jankovic and Ana Ivanovic are seeded one and two in the 600,000-dollar China Open, with both chasing the women’s number one spot currently held by Serena Williams.
New world number three Dinara Safina, who captured the Pan Pacific Open title, withdrew due to injury.
Meanwhile, on the men’s side of the draw in Beijing, defending champion and Olympic silver medallist Fernando Gonzalez faces a tough battle to retain his title, with top seed David Ferrer and former world number one Andy Roddick in the hunt.
