They also succeeded in their first Grand Slams in [[Gstaad]] and [[Klagenfurt]]. In [[Kristiansand]], they were defeated in the final by the Spaniards Herrera / Mesa. Then they were seventh in [[Mallorca]] and fourth in [[Guarujá]]. At the 2009 [[World championship|World Championships]] in [[Stavanger]], they made it as runner-ups into the first major round.

Then they finished with ninth place three times in a row before they could win the final in [[São Paulo]] against Dalhausser / Jennings. Their last joint result was third place in [[Durban]].
