“Thriller” in Madrid, judged by Sara Errani. It’s his first victory at a Masters after 6 years

Sara Errani, one of the best tennis players of the last decade, achieved a huge result at the Madrid Masters. Coming from Calfiicari, the Italian came across Caroline Wozniacki in the first round, in a duel that was announced to be extremely balanced.

The first set was extremely contested, with six breaks recorded out of nine games played. Wozniacki thus prevailed 6-3 after 50 minutes of play.

The second act was much more balanced and the two held their serve more. The difference was made at the end of the set, when Errani managed the break and prevailed after a full hour.

The decisive act was extremely similar to the first in terms of the number of breaks. Errani won four games on her opponent’s serve, while Wozniacki made just three breaks.

That was how the difference was made at the end of the match, which was finally won by Errani with the score of 3-6, 7-5, 7-5, after 2 hours and 51 minutes. The victory in Madrid was a huge one for the Italian, considering the length of the match, plus the 36-year-old age of the former grand slam doubles champion.

Sara’s success on the main draw in Madrid was the first after a 9-year break and at the same time the first at a WTA 1000 caliber tournament after 6 years of waiting, a fabulous result for the athlete who had not registered a major result for a long time time.

Throughout his career, Errani reached the Roland Garros singles final and won five Grand Slam doubles titles. In addition, the Italian won with the Italian national team three times the Fed Cup, currently the Billie Jean King Cup.
