Navratilova set in doubles

GOLD COAST, Australia (AP) -- Martina Navratilova will pair with Russia's Svetlana Kuznetsova in doubles at the Australian women's hard-court event.
Navratilova, 46, became the oldest player to win a WTA Tour doubles title when she paired with Belarus' Natasha Zvereva in May in Madrid. Navratilova has a record 167 singles titles and 165 in doubles.
Patty Schnyder, the 1999 Gold Coast champion, is likely to be named the top seed when the draw is released Saturday before the start of first-round play at Royal Pines on Monday. Japan's Ai Sugiyama, who won in 1998, also will play.
France's Nathalie Dechy, 1997 French Open champion Iva Majoli, Russian Elena Likhovtseva, American Meghann Shaughnessy, Russian Elena Bovina and Austrian Barbara Schett also are in the field.
