Why It Matters
Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini qualified for the WTA Finals in doubles thanks to their success in the semifinals at the Tokyo tournament.
A success that is worth double for Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini.
The two Italians have qualified for the final of the "Toray Pan Pacific Open", the WTA 500 which is being played on the hard court of the Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo, Japan, broadcast live and free-to-air on SuperTennis.
And thus they earned the last place at the WTA Finals in doubles.
In the semi-final they defeated the Slovakian Tereza Mihalikova 6-4 6-0 and the British Olivia Nicholls (tenths in the Race), who they had also beaten this year in Miami and Wuhan.
The Italians, who occupy ninth place in the Race, will return to the Finals in doubles for the third consecutive year, with the aim of passing the group stage for the first time.
Errani and Paolini occupy ninth place in the Race, the latter assigning a place to Indian Wells given the absence of Anna Danilina and the Serbian Aleksandra Krunic (third in the Race), because the latter tore the anterior cruciate ligament of her left knee at the US Open.
