Main Doubles Draw

Top seeds are Kveta Peschke and Rennae Stubbs. Plenty of experienced doubles players in the draw.

One pair to watch could be Sugi and Hantuchova who are #8 seeds.

i would like to see them do well. they haven't played together since Dubai last year. they're both capable of ruffling the draw...
