Just when everyone thought that an order was firmly established between the two couples that dominated Standard competition over the past two years, it was reversed. Going into this first GrandSlam Standard of the year, Simone Segatori and Annette Sudol do so as the challengers - while Dmitry Zharkov and Olga Kulikova are the ones who feel the pressure of having to defend the number one position. The two couples faced off against each other in Helsinki last year. The roles were assigned differently then!

Interesting comments by both couples! And how about Evaldas Sodeika - Ieva Zukauskaite? Obviously they have spent the three months since the "Final Showdown in Shanghai" practising. But unlike their opponents, they have also competed hard this year, winning four open competitins already!
