Paolini wins brace of Italian Open titles with doubles triumph

Rome: Jasmine Paolini became the first woman since Monica Seles in 1990 to win the Italian Open singles and doubles titles when she and Sara Errani beat Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens 6-4, 7-5 on Sunday. The Italian duo — who delivered Italy its first-ever Olympic tennis gold in Paris last year — came back from four games down in both sets to retain their title. Earlier, Paolini won the singles title after beating Coco Gauff 6-4, 6-2 in Saturday’s final to claim her second 1000 series title ahead of Roland Garros later this month. Agencies
