Milan, 9 Nov. (LaPresse) – Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini began the 2026 FAGE WTA Finals with a comeback victory, 4-6, 6-1, 10-8, over the number 1 seeds, Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend. This is the Italian pair’s first victory in three head-to-head encounters, following two defeats this year – in the semi-finals at Indian Wells and the final in Miami. “We’ve done a great job,” admitted Paolini after the match, “but we’re not done yet. On paper, this was the toughest match of the group stage, but not on court, because every match is still to be played.” Errani and Paolini’s campaign in Group 2 will continue against the number 4 seeds, Spain’s Cristina Bucsa and the American Nicole Melichar-Martinez, who this year reached two finals partnered with Errani in Berlin and Toronto.
