PARIS -- Spain's Virginia Ruano Pascual
completed the French Open "double-double" on Sunday, partnering
Argentine Paola Suarez to take the women's doubles crown with a
6-2 6-1 demolition of Yugoslavia's Jelena Dokic and Spain's
Conchita Martinez.
Ruano Pascual had teamed up with compatriot Tomas Carbonell to win
the mixed doubles event on Saturday over Suarez and Brazilian
Jamie Oncins.
It was the first Grand Slam women's doubles title for the
second seeds and long-time partners, who lost in the 2000 French
final to Mary Pierce and Martina Hingis.
Ruano Pascual and Suarez needed just over an hour to dispose of
Martinez and Dokic, who had both been seeded in the women's
singles event before losing in the third round. Send this story to a friend | Most sent stories |
