Errani’s Excellent Week In Barcelona
Following a singles-doubles sweep at Acapulco, Sara Errani quietly bowed out of Indian Wells and Miami in her opening matches, but when she got back on the clay in Barcelona it was back to business, as she pulled off another singles-doubles sweep at the Barcelona Ladies Open (with Roberta Vinci)…

- She is the first player to achieve two singles-doubles sweeps in the same season since Serena Williams did it in 2009 (at the Australian Open andWimbledon); the last time anyone did it three times in a season came all the way back in 2000 (Martina Hingis swept at five tournaments).
- She extended her clay court winning streak to 10 matches in a row (she went 5-0 to win Acapulco and 5-0 to win Barcelona).
- Going into the week she had lost 24 of her last 25 matches against Top 20 players, but in Barcelona she beat two of them – and routinely too (62 63 over No.16 Julia Goerges and 62 62 over No.17 Dominika Cibulkova).
- She went from No.33 to No.28 on this week’s rankings, jumping over her previous career-high of No.30 and setting a new career-high.
