Women's Doubles Final at Roland Garros Features Errani and Paolini
Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini are having a bloody good time in Paris! After snatching the historic Olympic gold last summer, these Italian mavens, ranked second in the doubles draw, stormed into the finals, crushing Mirra Andreeva and Diana Shnaider, the fourth seeds, 6-0 6-1. The ultimate challenge for the title is Anna Danilina and Aleksandra Krunic from Kazakhstan and Serbia respectively.
After dominating the rematch of the match that awarded the Olympic gold last year, Errani and Paolini are back in the Roland Garros finals for a second consecutive year, having lost to Gauff and Siniakova last year. Fresh off their second consecutive title at the Internazionali d'Italia, their sixth together, the dynamite duo aims to seal the deal this time around.
