Welcome to Istanbul, Turkey! The 2011 WTA season will officially end this week and it comes to to the crème-de-la-crème of doubles teams this week as the four best of the year are the only ones to have qualified. The first qualifiers were the Czech-Slovene duo of Kveta Peschke and Katarina Srebotnik, both veterans. The second qualifiers, veterans as well, certainly have the most combined experience as both have win this tournament before, in the team of Americans Liezel Huber and Lisa Raymond. Third to join them were defending champions, Gisela Dulko of Argentina and Flavia Pennetta of Italy, who aren't quite veterans but certainly have some experience at this level in the past year or so. Finally, fourth to qualify were the ever-popular "Team Smiles" duo of American Vania King and Kazakh Yaroslava Shvedova, who are both much younger than any of their counterparts, but have built up quite a resume of experience of their own since joining forces in June 2010. With these four teams in action, we could not have a finer end to the season in store. Vote now as the TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships unfolds!
