DOUBLE TROUBLE
By Neil Frankland: AP Sports Writer
>>>
The double-handed forehand-backhand combination made famous by former
No. 1 Monica Seles could be on the way back thanks to an Asian
revival.

Hsieh Su-wei used it to great effect this week to become the first
Taiwanese player to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam, before
losing to top ranked Justine Henin: 6-2 6-2.

Henin said the tennis-world can expect more of the double-handed play
to come.

"Players from Asia, they all play the same way. Very talented, good
hands, like Seles had in the past," Henin said. "I think we're going
to see this kind of game more often probably in the future. With
Beijing this year, the Olympic Games, they're all coming pretty
strong."

The Belgian said there was plenty to be said for the technique.

"They can really have a very good defense with a lot of angles," she
said. "(But) when you play fast and long, you know, they don't have
too much time to change their grip."
