The French Open doubles champions are
now the ASB Classic victors.
The Czech pair of Andrea Hlavackova and
Lucie Haradecka were too strong for the new pairing of Flavia
Pennetta and Julia Goerges in today's ASB Classic doubles final which
was forced indoors because of heavy rain.
But the Grand Slam champions were taken
to three sets by the Italian and German in a match that swung one way
and then the other within minutes.
In the super tiebreak third set the
Czechs took out the match 6-7 (2) 6-2 10-7 with a couple of simple
mistakes being the difference between the two pairings.
Pennetta will now rest up before her
singles final which has been postponed until 11am tomorrow.
