French Open: Paolini & Errani win women's doubles title
Paris, June 8 (UNI) Jasmine Paolini called partner Sara Errani a "legend" and an "inspiration" after they clinched the French Open women's doubles title on Sunday. Errani and Paolini beat Kazakh Anna Danilina and Serb Aleksandra Krunic 6-4 2-6 6-1 on Court Philippe Chatrier. The Italian duo won Olympic gold on the same court in Paris last summer and have now added a first Grand Slam title together to their growing collection. Paolini, 29, reached the women's singles and doubles finals at last year's French Open but lost in the fourth round of this year's singles, the BBC reported. "I want to thank Sara," Paolini said. "It has been her last tournament in singles here and I want to say thank you very much. You are an inspiration for me. "You are a great champion and a great person. You have made me a better player and it's great to share these special moments with you. You are a legend." Errani, 38, previously said this would be her last time playing singles at Roland Garros and she ultimately lost in the second round of qualifying. She had already completed the career Golden Slam in doubles - winning each of the four majors and Olympic gold - but now boasts six Grand Slam titles to her name, including two at the French Open. Errani also won the mixed doubles title alongside compatriot Andrea Vavassori on Thursday. "This is the best court in the world, I have the best memories here and it's so special for me," Errani said. "Sometimes you are not enjoying it 100% because you can't stop and feel it, but right now I'm feeling it. "I'm trying to realise what we are doing and it's so big. Winning a Grand Slam is such a big thing." Second seeds Errani and Paolini had not dropped a set en route to the final but were taken the distance by Danilina and Krunic. Errani and Paolini broke for a 4-2 lead in the first set but Danilina and Krunic hit straight back, restoring parity with a break of their own at the fifth attempt. The Italians wrapped up a 55-minute set with a break of serve in the 10th game, signalling another routine victory could be on the cards. But Danilina and Krunic came out fighting, earning two breaks to get on the board and force a decider. That momentum was quickly wrested away, though, when Krunic and Danilina were each broken on their first service games and their Italian rivals raced to the finish line. UNI BM GNK

And now it's my time to take something from the close people I have. They would for sure be happy that I come back home (and be) with my family, with everyone. We are just a very simple family.

The Italian said that before his career started, he never thought he would find himself in a spot where he was playing the longest French Open final in history. The Italian said that while the result hurts, he cannot keep on crying about it and will have to move on. "As I always said before my career started, I never would have thought to find myself in this position. (It) was not even a dream, because it was so far and I was not thinking about this. Now I find myself here, playing the longest match in history of Roland Garros in a final. It hurts, yes, but in other way you cannot keep going crying... So, it happens," said Sinner.
