Paola & Virginia needs to separate now....their team has been very successful but others have adjusted to their games already.
I can't see them seperating, they're good friends, and I really hope they don't, (not that they need to anyway - as has already been pointed out they have been runners up at all three GS's so far this year, to name but a few of their acheivements). They smile and laugh and have fun on court, whether they're winning or losing, which is great to watch regardless of their results.
Anyway, I think part of what makes their partnership work is the fact that they
are friends, they have played together for so many years that they instinctively know what each other will do and they have fun playing doubles together - they wouldn't have that with another partner.
If someone had to beat them, I'm glad it was Mary and Rennae, so
to them, but
for all Vivi's missed opportunities to get the #1 ranking. I really can't see that it can happen this year now.
But, they've had a great year at the top of the game, and if that's all they get, it's still better than most teams. Hopefully though they keep fighting next year and with slightly fewer points to defend will make it back to the top again.
Whatever, as long as they're smiling and having fun, whether they're ranked#1 or #101, I'm happy.
