The Italian pairing of Jasmine Paolini and Sara Errani has made history at the Olympic women’s doubles competition in Paris. Their impressive 6-3 6-1 victory over the Team GB duo of Katie Boulter and Heather Watson secured them a spot in the semifinals.
This achievement marks a significant milestone for Italian tennis, as it is the first time in a century that an Italian player has reached the final four of an Olympic tennis competition. The last Italian to accomplish this feat was Umberto De Morpurgo, who clinched the bronze medal at the 1924 Games, also held in Paris.
