Azarenka and Wozniacki Doubles Finalists at WTA's Memphis Stop

Azarenka and Wozniacki Doubles Finalists at WTA's Memphis Stop ~~~

It was a good week for juniors at the ATP/WTA tour stop in Memphis, with Victoria Azarenka of Belarus (and Phoenix) taking out top seed Nicole Vaidisova and Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark reaching the quarterfinals before bowing to the eventual champion.

Then the sixteen-year-old Azarenka and the fifteen-year-old Wozniacki, playing together for the first time, rode a wild card all the way to the doubles final, falling to reigning U.S. Open champions Lisa Raymond and Samantha Stosur.

The website of the tournament ran this story, which features the Blooper Headline "Americans Raymond and Stosur Claim Team Title." This will come as a surprise to Stosur, who is most definitely Australian, as I know well from the attention she received in Melbourne once Lleyton Hewitt lost early.

The Commercial-Appeal tosses the women's doubles final into this roundup story, but they at least get the competitors' countries correct. You'll need to scroll down for the doubles account, and while there, read of Kristof Vliegen's determination to prove the Belgian Tennis Federation wrong.
