Gisela Dulko and Flavia Pennetta came from a set down to defeat dangerous team Victoria Azarenka and Maria Kirilenko to lift the Australian Open Crown. In the match preview I mentioned they had won big tournaments before but never a Grand Slam, a statistic which rapidly changed. The nice thing about this pairing is that off the court they are great mates too, and it starts to show on court also. In 2010 they became the number one doubles pairing, remarkable for two players who are better known on the singles court. Both clay court specialists you wouldn't dismiss them winning their second slam at the French Open!
