Hantuyama:hearts:

How do you think they will do Dave?

Very exciting draw! Many of the top team are making their first apperances since Wimby this week.

That match at the top features 4 players who hold 18 GS women's doubles titles between them. :bowdown:


I have no idea who will win this. I think at least 8 or 9 of those teams have a legitimate chance. :shrug:


Hantuyama are certainly one of those teams (^^) Dani is playing better now in singles which can only help her in dubs. When they have played the summer hardcourts they have always done well with each other. Like I said, impossible to tell who will win this which makes it such a promising tournament. :bounce:

OMG, I though Hantuyama weren't playing together anymore! :inlove:

No Kirinetta? :confused::confused:

Tough first round for Ruano/Zheng, good luck!

Some really interesting teams playing here! GL Meghann/Abi and Flavia/Lisa :yeah:

Hantuyama :bounce:

Go Vivizheng :bounce:

Really interested to see how Pennetta and Raymond will do and they have a tough first round match. Vania King is a pretty tidy and compact volleyer and Niculescu is in very good doubles form but I think both of them play better when they are partnered with a big hitter.

Should be an exciting draw :D Certainly no outstanding favourites.

Pennetta + Raymond :spit:

A. Bondarenko + Vesnina :faints: :hearts:

hantuyama doesn't have a bad draw to make the final , so lets hope they can do it .

So many great teams. :inlove:
