“Italian tennis players gave a post-match press conference”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
Sarah Errani:
“In tennis everything happens very quickly, you try to stay focused all the time, daily. For example, just a few days ago I won Mikst from Andrea (Wavassori), and I had no time to be happy. I could not be truly happy because it was necessary to continue immediately-it is important to maintain a concentration at such moments, even if it is difficult. After Rome, I came here to play qualification – it is not easy. Only when everything ends, can you exhale and feel joy, so this trophy is so important. I am very happy now, but also very tired; The main thing is to find a balance.
I think people like even tennis, they like to watch us. Perhaps they should better learn even the players, but the truth is that we are simply not promoted as single people, who all know many – know their lives, their history. But we also have wonderful careers, and we deserve recognition. I think if people knew us more, they would be even more interesting to watch our matches. Those who follow the paired and mixing tournaments know how exciting they are. ”
Jasmine Paolini:
“Of course, we are very happy with this result – last year we were very close, and now it is especially nice that we managed to win. These are incredible emotions. The finale was very difficult, the rivals played very well in tactical terms, so it was difficult. Fortunately, at the end we found the way, found energy to win.
This is a great way to complete the tournament, of course; It is always nice to lift the trophy in the finale. Honestly, I was very nervous before the match – I really wanted to win this trophy this year. In 2024 we were very close, and I had the feeling that we could play better. Therefore, I am very pleased that this year everything turned out. To leave Paris with a trophy is fine.
The difference is big: it is enough to ask people who are included in the top 10 single rating, and who-to the top 10 even. The situation changes immediately. I agree with Sarah – maybe people should learn more about paired players. For example, in Italy, every time we play, the stands are full, because people know us. In the US, even tennis is very popular – so many American women play in pairs, it’s great. I play in pairs myself, because I better understood this discipline and loved it. ”
