The defending 2008 Australian Open doubles champions have an extra edge compared to most of their competitors on court.
As sisters, Alona and Kateryna Bondarenko know each other’s games perfectly, but how about once they head off the court? I caught up with the Bondarenko sisters during the off-season to find out just how well they know each other.
I posed the same questions to Alona and Kateryna individually, but with a slight twist. They had to answer not only for themselves, but for each other.
