Pennetta wins Hopman Cup doubles match

There is no byline, but I feel confident that Chris Pike wrote the match summary of the Safin/Safina-Pennetta/Bolelli Hopman Cup match. I say that because the Italians are described as "desperate." Their alleged desperation paid off, too. Flavia Pennetta and her partner, Simone Bolelli, won the match, 7-5, 4-6, 7-6. The Italian team plays France next.
