Dulko and Pennetta Set To Defend Australian Open Title
Dulko and Pennetta Set To Defend Australian Open Title
Twelve months ago, not one of the 64 teams in the draw in for the Australian Open women’s doubles competition had a Grand Slam title to their name. This time around five pairings enter the tournament knowing what it takes to go all the way and each will be confident of lifting the year’s first major.
Last year, Gisela Dulko and Flavia Pennetta emerged victorious in Melbourne, capturing their first Grand Slam with a three set comeback victory – they trailed 62 41 – over Victoria Azarenka and Maria Kirilenko in the final. Dulko and Pennetta open their defense against Irina Falconi and Rebecca Marino, with a potential rematch against Kirilenko, and her partner Nadia Petrova, scheduled for the quarterfinals.

Maria Sharapova beats Gisela Dulko at Australian Open 2012
Maria Sharapova marched into the second round of the Australian Open on Tuesday with a ruthless 6-0 6-1 victory over Agrentina’s Gisela Dulko in just 58 minutes.
The 24-year-old Russian had been heading for a ‘double bagel’ 6-0 6-0 victory until she temporarily lost control of her serve in the third game of the second set and was broken.
Dulko, who had beaten Sharapova at Wimbledon in 2009 in their only other meeting, punched the air in delight after winning the game while the crowd on the second show court of Hisense Arena gave her a massive cheer and sustained applause.
Sharapova, however, was not prepared to stay on court any longer than she had to in the intense heat, breaking Dulko’s next two service games and while the Argentine had three break points when the fourth seed was serving for the match she was unable to stave off the inevitable.
