Women's doubles round-up article with a nice picture of Laura (who turned 16 today - many happy returns & many more tennis victories, including the odd Grand Slam title, I hope, to her! wink ) & Sally in today's Times.

I must admit I didn't know that Bally's coach was also her boyfriend. I think he is a big part of the reason for her success.

Not bad draws at all.  Considering that you are scheduled, if seeds come through,  to meet a seed in one of the first 2 rounds to avoid them in round 1 and then get seeds 12, 13 & 15 in round 2 is about as good as it gets.

Must be serious chance for Sarah and hope Laura & partner enjoy further experience and who know ?  Love the "chuffed" expression from Laura in that pic.

Laura's opponents just won a warmup event in Hobart so a win would be a huge surprise given that she'll be recovering from her birthday dinner bash last night.
It's funny four months ago she hated playing doubles now following the hopman cup experience with Andy she absolutely loves it.
You would have to think that together with Heather the junior doubles title is well within their grasp.

Article about Laura suggesting the aim is to get a senior ranking which is high enough by May to give her direct acceptance into French open qualifying.

Robson/Peers lead (12) Chuang/Peschke 6-3 2-0* jawdrop.gif

Shame this is not on a televised court, there are nine courts in operation today and only two are not televised.

Peers broken in the 8th game, but they break Chaung straight back and Robbo will serve for the match:

IMO robbo should be in that fed cup team probably instead of Anne who is not match fit.
