Basically the question was whether they were planning on playing doubles together in the future. Here's a rough transcription:
JJ: I don't know but we've never played doubles together. Actually, no once, sorry, we have played Fed Cup and it'd be nice to play again in Fed Cup. We are playing in Spain again. For the first time have a chance to get into World Group. If it comes to doubles we'll play together. But I think when we are at our individual tournaments we're more focused on singles. We're more singles players and I think for me at this moment it is very hard to play both singles and doubles and I'm very focused on my goals. So for now I'm not really interested to play doubles but in the future why not. It's always fun.
Ana: Yeah, I completely agree with Jelena. We will have some more opportunities to play more doubles in Fed Cup and maybe in three years time the Olympics [giggles].

UPDATED: Here's the actual transcript from that presser. It's not different except for one thing, which totally made me laugh:
Q. Will you play doubles together in the future, since you don't have sisters, Jelena and Ana? Who would be the leader?
JELENA JANKOVIC: I don't know. We haven't played before doubles together.
ANA IVANOVIC: Actually once.
JELENA JANKOVIC: I forgot, sorry. We played once in Fed Cup. It would be nice to play again in Fed Cup. We are playing in Spain again. For the first time we have a chance to get in the World Group. If it comes to doubles, we will play together. I think when we play our individual tournaments, we're more focused on singles. We're basically singles players.
