Kveta Peschke and Rennae Stubbs have been a partnership for less than a year, but their immediate success has seen the duo establish themselves as one of the teams to beat on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour. After a solid start to life as a team during the European clay court swing, the Czech-Australian partnership really came into their own when the Tour hit the grass courts of Great Britain. They reached their first final in unison at Eastbourne, before going all the way to the quarterfinals on the hallowed lawns of the All England Club - falling victim to Lisa Raymond and Samantha Stosur on both occasions.
The summer of 2007 also brought Peschke and Stubbs their first silverware in tandem when they stormed through the draw in Los Angeles, capturing the hardcourt title with a sensation 61 60 destruction of top seeds Alicia Molik and Mara Santangelo in the final. This triumph was swiftly followed by back-to-back semifinal appearances - most notably at the US Open, where they narrowly lost out to eventual champions Nathalie Dechy and Dinara Safina.
Prior to joining forces Peschke and Stubbs had enjoyed considerable success
on the doubles court with over 60 titles between them and after hitting
it off almost instantaneously, more success looks set to follow. They
have already
notched up victories over several of their main rivals - including the
Tour's top team of Cara Black and Liezel Huber - and title
runs in Doha, Stuttgart
and Zürich indicate the partnership is going from strength to strength.
