[PKBasu]

Errani/Pannetta is a potentially lethal pairing of great Italian doubles players. No wonder our heroines were challenged! Pannetta is clearly postponing that retirement she announced at Flushing Meadows...

[Omkara]

Wow...

[shibi]

Both Martina and Sania were unhappy with the Chan sisters, for failing to acknowledge the touch of the ball on the racquet in one of the rallies which the umpire missed. People are calling Chan sisters cheats. I think competition as well as animosity between these sets of players will increase in future.

Hingis is pairing Han Xinyun of China next week at Tianjin Open since Sania is not playing.
