Sara Errani wrote Italian tennis history today: she beat Jelena Jankovic 6-3 7-5 and became the first Italian player to reach the Rome tournament final since Raffaella Reggi, in 1985.
“I just tried to keep focused on my game and what I had to do. The motivation was the crowd. They were unbelievable and I have no words to say what it is like to play on this court with this support. Amazing!”
In the other semifinal, Serena Williams beat in-form Ana Ivanovic 6-1 3-6 6-1.
