Mandula played her last match at the first round of the French Open against Anabel Medina Garrigues,[1] while Schett retired at the Australian Open following her second-round defeat against Daniela Hantuchová.[2]
Émilie Loit and Katarina Srebotnik won the title by defeating Lourdes Domínguez Lino and Marta Marrero 6–1, 3–6, 6–2 in the final.
