Welcome to Melbourne, Australia! It is officially the time to commence the first grand slam of the year. This is one of the biggest stops of the year on the PYW Doubles tour and needless to say some great teams are in action. We have the top seeds, Gisela Dulko and Flavia Pennetta who will hope to rejoin from a disappointing Sydney first round loss and Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Meghann Shaughnessy, who won in Hobart last week. Some top teams such as Serena Williams and Venus Williams and Vania King and Yaroslava Shvedova won't be playing, because one of those players is injured, but there are still some great teams to vote for. Many of the successful teams last week are in action, and the first major of the year is sure to be a thriller. Vote now as the tournament kicks off!
Previous Finals:
2010: Sorana Cirstea ROU/Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova RUS lost to Elena Vesnina RUS/Jie Zheng CHN [9] | 0-6 3-6
