Weeks 3-4 - Australian Open Doubles
(
1 2
)
(Preview)
Anne plays with Mervana Jugic-Salkic, and they play the Australian wild cards Sophie Ferguson & Jessica Moore. Sarah & Courntey have probably signed-in as alternates, and are sticking their legs out at passers by who are in the doubles draw I expect.
