my heart skipped just a tiny beat when i saw "Navratilova" in the draw. Oh, yeah... they mean Gabriela.

Not too many interesting new pairs for the women, but i like the look of Hantuchova and Davenport as a team. Have they played together before?

Hantuchova and Davenport played in New Haven (And a few times before that, including the Australian). They lost in the QF to Voskoboeva/Rodionova, the powerhouse team that won one game in the SF vs. Raymond/Peschke. I think Hantuchova/Davenport would have had a better chance winning their QF if Hantuchova hadn't shown for the match.

But as crummy as she was in her New Haven doubles, she probably looked worse in the three games I saw of her loss to Groenefeld yesterday at the USO.

Let's just say the Melbourne version of Dani is a distant memory.
