Taiwan's female tennis duo Chang Yung-jan and Chuang Chia-jung won the East West Bank Classic on Sunday, marking the greatest achievement for the Taiwanese in tennis. World champion skater Michelle Kwan, the spokeswoman of the event, presented the trophy to the Taiwanese duo.
Besides sharing US$ 30,000 in prize money, the two will rise from their current 8th and 9th place in world double's ratings. The two are now poised to be the top seeded team for the Beijing Olympics. Taiwan's female duo is the only doubles team with players of the same nationality, which is a key element in the Olympic seeding.
