Doha DrawTop seeds are Zimonjic and Nestor who will be looking to get their first proper season together off with a good start. Second seeds are Vizner and Damm. Not sure if this is a permanent partnership as Vizner's normal partner, Lukas Dlouhy, is paired with Fran Cermak. Either way, all four Czechs will be keen to make an impact as they fight to play doubles for their country at the Olympics.
And of course, Jamie Murray starts his new partnership with Max Mirnyi. Lets hope its a fruitful one!

Yes indeed! Just a shame that they won't be playing the Open together. Ah well, plenty of time for a slam together!

Really?
I thought this was a permanant thing all year for them?

It is, but I think Murray had already committed to play with Kevin Ullyett as Ullyett's new partner, Jonas Bjorkman, is not playing the Open as his wife is due around then. That's how things stood at the end of last season at least!

yeah, those are fairly surprising results! Nestor and Zimonijc's partnership hasn't been too successful so far has it?
and Max and Murray :cry:

Congrats to the winners, not sure whether they'll be a team to watch over the season though?!
