Sara Errani

Sara Errani is a professional tennis player from Italy. She is a former top 5 player in singles and former world No. 1 in doubles. She has won nine WTA singles titles, and 27 doubles titles - which includes five Grand Slam doubles championships and five Premier Mandatory 5 doubles titles, thereby completing the career Grand Slam in doubles. Errani's breakthrough season occurred in 2012. At the Australian Open, she reached the quarterfinals in singles (the first time she advanced past the third round in a Grand Slam singles draw) and was a finalist in doubles. Known as a clay-court specialist, Errani won three titles on clay going into the 2012 French Open, where she reached the finals in both the singles (becoming only the second Italian woman to ever reach a Grand Slam singles final) and doubles tournaments, winning the doubles title with her partner Roberta Vinci. They also won the doubles titles at the 2012 US Open, and the 2013 and 2014 Australian Open. By winning the 2014 Wimbledon Women's Doubles title together, Errani and Vinci became only the fifth pair in tennis history to complete a Career Grand Slam. Her achievement in reaching the 2012 US Open singles semifinals leaves Wimbledon as the only Grand Slam tournament in which Errani has yet to make the quarterfinals in singles. She also made the semifinals at the 2013 French Open and the quarterfinals at the 2014 French Open, the 2014 US Open, and the 2015 French Open.
