Italian duo Errani and Paolini win French Open women's doubles final
Olympic gold medallists Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini won the French Open women's doubles title for the first time. The second-seeded Italian pair, runners-up at Roland-Garros last year, beat Anna Danilina and Aleksandra Krunic 6-4, 2-6, 6-1 on Sunday. It was Errani's second French Open doubles title, and her sixth at a major tournament. The 38-year-old previously formed a highly succesful partnership with Roberta Vinci, also winning trophies at the U.S. Open, Wimbledon and Australian Open. 'It's tennis, we never stop, every day,' Errani said. 'You just try to be focused every day, and maybe you are not enjoying 100 percent what is happening, because you cannot stop and feel it. But right now, I feel it, and I am trying to realize what we are doing is so big. Winning a Grand Slam is the best thing in the world.' No other Italians had won the women's doubles at Roland Garros since Errani teammed with Vinci in 2012. Errani won two titles in Paris this year, also claiming the mixed doubles title with Andrea Vavassori. Paolini is also an accomplished singles player and was runner-up at the clay-court Grand Slam last year, losing to Iga Swiatek in the final. 'You are really an inspiration for me,' Paolini told Errani. 'It's great to have you in my team and sharing these moments with you, it's something special. You are a legend, for me.'

Tennis-Sinner's dad too busy with work to attend record-breaking French Open final
PARIS, - World number one Jannik Sinner was part of the longest French Open final when he lost in five sets to defending champion Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday but his dad was not there to witness it because he was at work, the Italian said. The marathon match lasted five hours and 29 minutes, making it the longest French Open final since tennis turned professional in 1968 and the second longest in Grand Slam history. "My dad was not here because he was working today," Sinner, who hails from a German-speaking Alpine region in northern Italy told a press conference. "Nothing of our success changes in the family." His father works as a chef in the mountains. Sinner had a full box for support, with his team of coaches as well as his mother, who was seen welling up and being extremely nervous as her son wasted three match points in the fourth set. "It was nice to see my mom here. And yeah, I guess my dad, he was watching on TV - if he finished work. It's okay." The Italian top seed wasted three match points at 5-3, 40-0 up in the fourth set and was also 6-5 up in the decider, before Alcaraz clawed his way back in dramatic fashion to win the title for the second year running. "So we are just very simple family, you know," he said.
