Roland Garros 2024 can become something epochal for the history of Italian tennis: after Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori who won it in the men’s doubles, Jasmine Paolini, after the one in the women’s singles also accesses the final of the women’s doubles together with Sara Errani.
The two blues defeated in a comeback with the score of 1-6 6-4 6-1 in two hours and one minute of play on the Simonne Mathieu court the Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk and the Romanian Elena Gabriela Ruse. After a badly lost first set suffering six games in a row, the two blues began to carbonize in the second set.
The Romagnola and the Tuscan went up 2-0, in an endless fourth game they suffered the counterbreak giving in at the tenth chance for their opponents and 32 total points played, and then there were three more consecutive breaks, the last one in favor of the Azzurri who from 3-3 pocketed nine games out of ten winning a historic final.
Their opponents will be US Coco Gauff and Czech Katerina Siniakova, who also got the better of US Caroline Dolehide and Desirae Krawczyk in a comeback 5-7 6-4 6-2 over the US Caroline Dolehide and Desirae Krawczyk. For Jasmine è the first final in a doubles match in a Major and this year è fresh from her victory in Rome (but she also won in Linz in February) just with Errani.
Sara, on the other hand, doubles Grand Slam tournaments she has won all of them at least once, always paired with Roberta Vinci, and è to her fourth final at Roland Garros after the one she won in 2012 and the two she lost in 2013 and 2014, obviously always with Tarantina.
