LE PAROLE DELLE AZZURRE
“We are very happy, playing in Italy is special: today there is the filling, thanks to all for typhus, you support us every day and we feel so much.” This is Sara Errani’s commentary at SuperTennis, after the double win with Jasmine Paolini on Shuko Aoyama and Eri Hozumi who finished the Qualifier against Japan at Velletri and gave Italy a place at the final stage of Shenzhen.
“It wasn’t easy, especially the second set, I had some ups and downs but we stayed there, we played well and decided what to do. We go to Shenzhen again this year!” said Paolini, who can’t wait to return to China where the blue will try to conquer the third consecutive title. In the most complex phase of the whole comparison, in the second set marked by a series of six breaks in six games, the understanding between Sara and Jas was decisive. “In those moments it was essential to support each other, understand the moments of the other and help us keep the energy high. We also have to thank the team who from outside made a great fan and the public.”.
