Chinese Taipei is not a traditional tennis heavyweight, but in Chan Yung-Jan
and Chuang Chia-Jung they have one of the finest young doubles partnerships
on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour. The pair first came to prominence at the start
of the year when they shocked the doubles draw with a sensational run to the
final of the Australian Open, eventually losing to No.3 seeds Cara Black and
Liezel Huber. Their heroics in Australia were a mere taster of what they had
in store for the tennis world in 2007 and the proceeding seven months has
seen them make a meteoric rise up the rankings and capture three titles along
the way.

Going into Melbourne with a lowly combined ranking of No.182 they defeated
among others Yan Zi and Zheng Jie en route to the final in what was just
their third Tour event in tandem and their first major. This achievement also
gained them a place in the history books - becoming the first players from
their homeland to make it through to the final of a Grand Slam. The rest of
the year has proved the duo to be anything but one-hit wonders, winning
titles in Bangalore, Birmingham and 's-Hertogenbosch as well as runner-up
finishes in Pattaya City, Indian Wells and most recently the US Open.

Despite the shockwaves they have caused this year their first title on Tour
came way back in 2005 when they defeated all comers in Seoul and with their
near unrivaled consistency - they have lost a mere 15 matches since joining
forces more than two years ago - and regular successes they look sure to be
one partnership who will reside at the top of the sport for many years to
come.
