Hsieh Su-Wei and Peng Shuai Win Doubles in Bali


Hsieh Su-Wei of Chinese Taipei and Peng Shuai of China came back from the brink of defeat to capture the Tier III Commonwealth Bank Tennis Classic doubles title over unseeded Marta Domachowska and Nadia Petrova.

Although both have previously won two Tour doubles titles with other partners, the win is their first as a combination.

In the nail-biting final the pair even held three match points on Petrova's serve at 5-4 in the second set, only to see Hsieh and Peng draw level, seize the ensuing tie-break and then the decider for a 6-7(4), 7-6(3), 10-7 victory.
"It was a great match today," Peng said.

"It was really exciting for us and the crowd too, I think. I'm really happy to win with my partner. We have been good friends for eight years now and she's always been helping me and giving me advice, so to share this with her, it really doesn't get any better than this."

Patty Schnyder takes Bali Open title after defeating Tamira Paszek



Second-seeded Patty Schnyder of Switzerland won her first title in three years, defeating Austrian teenager Tamira Paszek 6-3 6-0 last weekend to take the Bali Open.

It was the 12th WTA singles title for the 29-year-old Schnyder, who last won at the Cincinnati Open in July 2005.

The 94th-rank Paszek, 17, reached the final by upsetting top-seeded Daniela Hantuchova in the semifinals, as well as third-seeded Flavia Pennetta and seventh-seeded Sara Errani in earlier rounds.
