I figured that if her problem was match practice, then playing extra matches in doubles would help her cause. Is that a bit naive?

If she's uninjured then playing doubles at the odd tournie wouldn't hurt. It's a shame she doesn't play mixed doubles with James Blake really :(

I can't see her doing WD without her sister. If Lindsay was still on the tour she might consider doing it with her I suppose in Venus' absence.

If she was plying doubles today for instance, would that help sharpen her up, or knacker her out?

Serena only plays with Venus. Its their family contract as it were roflmao

play doubles, the girl could use the practice.
