Fabulous Paolini-Errani: Italian women tennis players conquer Roland Garros
Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini conquered Roland Garros. The two Italian tennis players imposed themselves on the Serbian-Kazakhstan pair of Aleksandra Krunic and Anna Danilina at the end of a multi-faceted match: after an initial, 6-4 in favour of the Italians, the second set ended 2-6 in favour of the opponents. In the third set, however, there was no mistaking who was in charge. The Italian Olympians hit two consecutive breaks and always held serve, taking a 5-0 lead. The match therefore ended with a score of 6-1, which gave the crown to the Italian pair. It was the second consecutive title for Errani-Paolini after the one they had just won at the Internazionali in Rome. And it is a rematch on French soil, after last year's final defeat against Katerina Siniakova and Coco Gauff. The Italian tennis player's total haul thus rises to seven titles, including the Olympic gold medal (also in Paris) in 2024. Four in particular triumphed in WTA 1000 tournaments. Related Tennis: Jasmine Paolini and Sara Errani triumph at Internazionali d'Italia women's doubles Sara Errani reached 34 titles in doubles; Paolini eight. Together with Roberta Vinci, she had already won Roland Garros in 2012, the US Open in the same year, the Australian Open in 2013-2014 and Wimbledon in 2014. For the Bolognese tennis player, this year's is therefore the sixth Slam in doubles, while for Jasmine Paolini who also took home the mixed doubles title together with Andrea Vavassori, it is the first one.

Paolini and 'legend' Errani win women's doubles title

Errani and Paolini beat Kazakh Anna Danilina and Serb Aleksandra Krunic 6-4 2-6 6-1 on Court Philippe Chatrier. Advertisement 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. "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." Advertisement 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. Advertisement "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. Advertisement 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.
