  1. Diane, do you know if Bethanie Mattek-Sands will continue to play doubles with Nadia Petrova this season? They seemed to make a good team.

  2. I'm not sure. They really are a good team--one of two teams that beat the Williams sisters last year. But I don't know if they're still a regular pairing.
