Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini secured the French Open women’s doubles title with a hard-fought victory over Kazakhstan’s Anna Danilina and Serbia’s Aleksandra Krunic. The Italian duo claimed their first Grand Slam trophy together with a 6-4, 2-6, 6-1 win, showcasing their resilience and tactical brilliance on the clay courts of Roland Garros.
The match saw both teams battling for control, with Errani and Paolini taking the first set after a crucial break at 5-4. Danilina and Krunic responded strongly, dominating the second set to level the contest. However, the Italians regained their momentum in the decider, breaking twice early to establish a commanding 5-0 lead. Their opponents struggled to counter the renewed intensity, and the match concluded when Krunic sent a forehand into the net.
This victory marks a significant milestone for Errani and Paolini, who had previously reached the final at Roland Garros but fell short. Their success adds to their growing reputation as one of the most formidable doubles teams in the sport, following their triumph at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Errani, a veteran of the tour, also celebrated another title earlier in the tournament, winning the mixed doubles event alongside Andrea Vavassori.
With this Grand Slam victory, Errani and Paolini have further cemented their place among the elite doubles players, and their performance at Roland Garros will be remembered as a defining moment in their careers.
