Ashley didn't fair so well against Petrova losing 3 and 0.

Ashley and Mardy Fish have also struggled as a doubles team. Knowing
how well Ashley has been playing doubles in the past year, you wonder

Ashley plays Alica Molik in the USA match against Australia. The
Australian papers seem to think Alica can beat Ashley. Don't be
