PARIS — Even before she faces three-time major champion Maria Sharapova in the French Open final today, Sara Errani will walk on the court a champion.
The 25-year-old Italian teamed with Roberta Vinci to beat Maria Kirilenko and Nadia Petrova 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 in the women’s doubles final Friday. That means Errani can become the first player to win the singles and doubles events at the French Open since Mary Pierce in 2000.
Win or lose today, the No. 21-seeded Errani is guaranteed a move into the top 10 for the first time when rankings are released next week.
“I haven’t had a chance to stop and really think about what I’ve done,” Errani said. “But maybe it’s better not to.” The Associated Press
