PARIS, France - Serena Williams has reason to celebrate despite her heart-breaking loss in her singles quarterfinal to Samantha Stosur, as her doubles victory later Wednesday alongside sister Venus not only puts them in the final of yet another Grand Slam, but it assures them of rising to No.1 on the doubles rankings for the first time on Monday.
No.12 seeds Kveta Peschke and Katarina Srebotnik, who scored an upset over No.2 seeds Nuria Llagostera Vives and María José Martínez Sánchez, 36 64 64.
