Chan Sisters take Shenzhen Open

Congrats to Hao-Ching and Yung-Jan for capturing the Shenzhen Open! The first seeds stayed true to form, and this is the first title for the duo together. They beat Irina Buryachok of Ukraine and Valeria Solovieva 6-0 7-5. They started the week off blitzing Alexandra Candatu and Anne Keothavong 6-0 6-1. In the quarters they had to survive a super tiebreaker and a tiebreaker in the semis. Congrats!

On another note, Su-Wei lost her second match and had to pull out of doubles with her sister. WTA states that she had a right forearm injury. But on facebook, Su-Wei calmed her fans saying that it was just a 24 hour thing. She's signed up for Hobart this week, so hoepfully this is just a minor scare. She plays her good friend Shuai Peng in the first round and is not signed up for doubles.

Hao-Ching wil play Syndey this week in doubles with Alicja Rosolska of Poland. Yung-Jan is probably going to be in Melbourne preparing for the Australian Open qualifying.

Good luck!
