An adventure that began just under a year ago: “Last year after Paris Sara asked me if we wanted to try to qualify for the Olympics. We play well together but honestly I never thought I would win a 1000. AND incredible being here with the trophy in hand, I honestly would never have believed it. I’m really happy, thanks to Sara. Without her it would have been impossible. AND the best tournament of the year especially for us Italians. Thanks for making this demonstration almost perfect“ declared Paolini at the end of the match. “We hope with Jasmine to give you more joys“, added Errani.
