This Australian Open edition hasn’t been really sucessful for Saran Errani and Roberta Vinci, at least in singles. In fact, both lost in the first round: Sara Julia Goerges 6-3 6-2 and Roberta to Jie Zheng 6-4 6-3.
Probably crashing out from the singles at a early stage helped the Italians to preserve some energies for the doubles.
Sara and Roberta will face Elena Vesnina and Ekaterina Makarova. The outcome of the match will have also a significant impact on the doubles rankings. In fact, the Italian would remain world no.1 if they win, otherwise Vesnina would become world no.1 and Makarova no.2
