In the most tense moment of the final, with the trophy at stake, the American Coco Gauff, number 3 in the world, committed a double fault that swung the women’s doubles title in favor of the local tennis players Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolinithe first Italian couple to win in Rome after 12 years.
The Italians took the first set against Gauff and the New Zealander Erin Routliffe thanks to the 3 breaks where they mark the territory. Gauff was undeterred, however, and managed to turn the situation around and extend the rivalry to a super tiebreaker of 10 points.
That time when the American and the New Zealand were close to the title. They went 8-6 in their favor, but the Italians responded with 3 straight points and took advantage of Gauff’s double fault in the decider to become champions.
Italy once again had a fully Italian couple as champions after 12 years, as the last time it happened was in 2012, when they achieved it. Roberta Vinci and himself Sarah Errani.
