1 Dulko/Pennetta d 12 Azarenka/Kirilenko - 26 75 61
Here is a quiz...
Who's #1 in the world without a Slam aided in their rank by Serena's injury?
This used to be a trick question: Caroline Wozniacki AND Dulko/Pennetta.
That is, until yesterday when the top ranked team finally won their 1st Slam.

He also becomes the 7th active player to win at least 20 titles.
A lot of tennis headlines have been sounding the Fed & Nadal 'end of era'.

This is Juan's 1st title since winning the US Open in '09.
He was sidelined for most of 2010 with a career-threatening wrist injury.

He's rocking a nice 13-4 W/L - which includes Sf's in San Jose & Memphis.
His ranking just spiked to #89 - FOUR weeks ago he was ranked #485.
It was a matter of time - but who knew it would be this fast?
