Raina/van der Hoek can win this

 

[tonyparkes606]

an open field anyone of the 16 teams can win this lohoff/voracova would be the pick from the top half and lechemia/neel would be the pick from the bottom half

Could be second win in a row for Wang/Zheng.

I'm not sure if you know, but was there any news as to why Lechemia/Neel split for around a month before this tournament? Neel was given a wildcard to the US Open without Lechemia, but then they played some more tournaments apart in the same weeks until now.

I'll be interested to see how Routliffe and Rosolska work as a pair. At least Rosolska has a decent serve and is far better than Christian at the back of the court. There are only a couple of teams in this draw who are in any sort of form, and that doesn't include the top two seeds.
