From Rome to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games: Paolini and Errani’s dream is more alive than ever
“Today was truly an incredible experience: the crowd was crazy.
Last year in Paris I asked ‘Jas’ if we could play together as much as possible to try to qualify for the Olympics: I don’t know how we are at the moment but I think it’s pretty good. We have to do our best to try to dream, because for me the Games are certainly one of the biggest dreams.
I’m closer to the net, ‘Jas’ is closer to the back of the pitch”, said Errani at the end of the match won against Jelena Ostapenko And Lyudmyla Kichenok. What made Paolini’s day better was above all the affection of the spectators who packed the Pietrangeli.
“I didn’t expect such support for the doubles. Errani’s call? I was flattered, I had already played with her: she directs me on the court and so I’m calm and I have fun. Me, but also my coach Renzo Furlanwe always ask her a lot of questions and she has really helped me a lot.
Playing doubles doesn’t change my way of training too much and I believe that, even though I work in a different way, it helps me grow and improve.” Finally, a thought about the constant presence of the captain Tathiana Garbin. “It’s nice to have her in the stands following us, to see that she’s well: her support is always very important.”
