Tennis, Errani & Vinci back on the court together
[ad_1]
Surprise, surprise. But what a nice surprise. At the Gaiba Tennis Club they showed up together on the court Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci. The two queens of doubles: they have achieved the Career Slam by triumphing in all four Majors. Their tennis partnership was then suddenly interrupted. Now: Roberta is 40 years old and had given herself to her padel, Sara is 36 years old and she is still looking for one last flicker. So? The mystery is soon revealed: Errani is the second seed (and outgoing finalist) of the Veneto Open promoted by Confindustria Veneto Est, an Italian tournament on grass, while Vinci accompanied her to Polesine in the role of coach, not disdaining dribbles with former doubles partner, and it was a nostalgic show. For express tennis, and for interludes. “Sara was alone this week – said Roberta Vinci – I took the opportunity to accompany her. I hope I can give her my contribution. I am pleased to go back to hitting some balls on the tennis courts: the love for this sport will always remain. Gaiba it’s a rarity, finding grass in Italy is particular, almost strange. The Centrale is very nice: I see that a great job has been done and they’ve improved a lot.”
Errani, debut against Katie Swan
Sara Errani she will make her WTA 125 debut on Tuesday against the British Katie Swan, but in the event directed by Elia Arbustini there will already be a lot of quality tennis on today’s opening day. It starts at 13, with one of the favorites of the eve immediately on the field: it is the Serbian Olga Danilovich, number 4 of the seeding, opposite the Italian Alessandra Teodosescu. Later it will be up to the other blue wild card Lisa Pigato to test the rebirth ambitions of Ana Konjuh, a Croatian with a past in the top 20 but also a very long list of injuries behind her, while closing the Central program (not before 6 ) will be the big match between the American Sofia Kenin, former Grand Slam champion, and the Slovenian Tamara Zidansek. On Camp 1, again from 1 pm, the Han-Yuan and Rosatello-Jang challenges.
The tournament will be broadcast live on Eurosport.
