US Open doubles update

Thank goodness my day is getting better!  Below you will find the official acceptance list for doubles at the US Open.  A few things you need to know before viewing the list:


  • 57 teams get direct acceptance by ranking
  • A player's singles or doubles ranking can be considered for entry into doubles
  • 7 wild cards will be given
  • Hingis will automatically be given a wild card.  WTA rules dictate her receiving one because she is a past top 20 player.  Other rules apply....to much to get into here....just know she is getting one!
  • Using the past as an indicator, would have one to believe that most of the American teams that are alternates will get a wild card.   Which means "our team"....Natalie and Jackie....would get one!
  • One would hope that our team has proven via results worthy of a wild card.
  • Fingers crossed and prayers please.....we are really close to getting into the US Open!  WOOT!

So without further hesitation here is the list:
