Italian duo of Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini clinched their first Grand Slam title after winning the French Open 2025 final. They defeated Kazakhstan’s Anna Danilina and Serbia’s Aleksandra Krunic 6-4, 2-6, 6-1.
First Grand Slam Trophy for the pair
The Errani-Paolini pair added another feather to their cap after winning the Paris 2024 Olympics doubles title on the same clay courts last year. This victory marked their first Grand Slam trophy as a duo.
The final clash
The first set of the final saw both teams exchange breaks, with the Italians capitalizing on a crucial break at 5-4 to take the lead. However, Danilina, a 2022 Australian Open doubles finalist, and Krunic bounced back, and dominated the second set. However, the Italians regained control and surged to a 5-0 lead.
The match concluded when Krunic’s forehand landed in the net, sealing the Italians’ victory and their place in French Open history.
Errani’s double triumph in Paris
For 38-year-old Sara Errani, this French Open was a career-defining week. Days before the women’s doubles final, she partnered with fellow Italian Andrea Vavassori to win the mixed doubles title, making her a dual champion at the tournament.
Paolini’s rise
Jasmine Paolini, who reached the French Open singles and doubles finals last year, showcased her versatility on clay. Despite a fourth-round exit in this year’s singles event, her doubles performance was stunning.
