Meet The Coochies

Most everyone knows about the three sets of sisters who got direct entry into the main draw at the Australian Open: the Williamses (Venus and Serena), the Radwanskas (Agnieszka and Urszula) and the Bondarenkos (Alona and Kateryna).

But off the radar of most fans are the Kucovas (Zuzana and Kristina), the former of whom joined her younger sister in the main draw by making it through the qualifying draw.  The Slovak Sisters Kucova are known to their legions of diehard fans as "The Coochies" (from the pronounciation of their last name -- KOOCH-ova).
