The world women's tennis number one doubles team of Cara Black from Zimbabwe and Liezel Huber from the United States have split, according to reports of Tuesday's The Herald.

The two have been playing together as a team since 2005 although Black at one stage teamed up with Australia's Rennae Stubb while her American partner was recuperating from an injury.

But Huber announced at the weekend that her five-year "marriage" with Black was coming to an end and they will not be playing together any more during this year's WTA Tour this year.

In fact, the two players have already gone their separate ways and will be playing with different partners on Tour, starting from this week in Europe.

Black will be playing with Shahar Peer of Israel at the upcoming WTA event in Stuttgart, Germany.

Huber, on the other hand, reported on her blog on USTA.com that she's going to play with different partners, starting with Jelena Jankovic in Stuttgart and then with Nadia Petrova in Rome, Italy.

Petrova's regular doubles partner, Sam Stosur, is limiting her doubles play.

Huber also might play some summer events with her U.S. Fed Cup teammate, Melanie Oudin.
