Gisela Dulko and Flavia Pennetta, seeded number 1 at the Mercury Insurance Open, were upset this evening in the opening round by Natalie Grandin and Abigail Spears. Grandin and Spears defeated the top team 6-2, 6-4. The Dulko/Pennetta team had second serve difficulties throughout the match, while Grandin and Spears maintained first and second serve win percentages of 72 and 54, respectively.
I was hoping they would go long into this tournament. Both haven't had success on the singles side of things (Pennetta-Marbella but dropped her top 10 ranking.) I just like watching them both play together and apart. It would have been nice for them to win a 5th (?) title or play in a final against Davenport/Huber.
