Rumours had speculated that a break-up might be coming after Huber played doubles with Petrova of Russia last week in Charleston at the Family Circle Cup.

They won the doubles title at this event at Charleston in South Carolina, United States.

Liezel, who was blogging from Fed Cup last week, said this about the latest developments.

"It was not an easy decision (to split up with Black). We have had a great partnership. We both want to be better players and right now it is best for us to just take a little break," said the blog.

But Black and Huber have not ruled out playing again together in the future.

Huber said both Black and her are entered in Stuttgart with different partners but they will continue to strive to do what they love most and that is to compete on the tennis court.

One of the most successful women's tennis doubles partnership in the world, Black and Huber first combined forces in 2005.

In 2005, their first year as regular partners, the pair won Wimbledon, but four days later Huber tore multiple ligaments in her left knee during a mixed doubles match in World Team tennis.

Black, uncertain whether Huber would play again, formed a new partnership with Australian Stubbs, with whom she stayed until 2006.

And when they reunited in 2007, the two players used their complementary talents -- Huber's baseline power and Black's deftness at the net -- to win 29 titles together on the Tour.
