Indonesia's Angelique Widjaya added another Grand Slam title to
her last year's Wimbledon achievement with an Australian Open
junior women's doubles victory in Melbourne on Sunday.

The 17-year-old teamed up with Argentiean Gisella Dulko -- the
pair seeded third at the tournament -- to beat top seeds Svetlana
Kuznetsova (Russia)/Matea Mezak (Croatia) 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 in 106
minutes.

Coach Deddy Tedjamukti said after winning the first set in 22
minutes, Angie and Dulko found that the second set became a
tighter encounter with the Argentinean enduring tense pressure.

"She (Dulko) was seen stuck to the defense. She did not dare
to move forward," Deddy said in Melbourne as quoted by Antara.

Deddy said the opening set's victory had seemed to preoccupy
Angie and Dulko with self-obligation of having to seal the second
set quickly.

The pair lost the set instead. "But Angie's good play help
them recoup in the third set. Angie's serves produced many points
and they came to winning the match in the end," he said.

Sunday's victory was Angie's second title in Grand Slam junior
tournaments following her singles' triumph at the Wimbledon
championship last year.

The win must have consoled her after she failed in the second
round in her singles campaign and fell early in the qualifying
stage in the senior category, in which American Jennifer Capriati
was the eventual champion.
