Our Sara Errani in action against Gibbs in Q-R3 of the 2017 Roland Garros

Sara Errani completes her race from Qualies to main draw in glorious style, only dropping 7 games in 3 matches. After Cakarevic and Kudermetova’s wins, today’s victory over Gibbs definitively sealed the deal to compete for the 2017 Roland Garros.

At last, the perfect challenge at the perfect time. Errani warned everybody around about being mentally ready and willing to go through Qualies for a spot in Women’s main draw. Not only that: she swore that having to play Qualies was a blessing, not a bother, for that is exactly what she needed to hopefully reach a momentuum after a season marked with injuries. 

Neither a long stop to help a fan who collapsed or the pressure of entering her 11th main draw here in Paris could turned off Sarita’s focus today, as she dropped just one break point in the whole first set. Aside from a short “unoffensive” exchange in the beginning, the 2012 finalist eventually stopped the delay by taking advantage of the second chance she got to break and run ahead.

The American tried to fixed it by using a more aggressive game starting from the second set, still Errani didn’t shake and neutralized 5 BP. Gibbs then cut the pace by demanding the physio to step on court to look after a left thigh pain, but our warrior kept going and closed the match out. Final score: 6-3, 6-0.
