Errani & Kanepi Collect Titles

Errani keeps clay court winning streak going, Kanepi saves match points to win Estoril

Italy’s Sara Errani not only cracked the Top 25 by winning the Budapest Grand Prix, she also extended her clay court winning streak to 15 matches in a row (the longest since Dinara Safina in 2009) and three tournaments in a row (the longest since Nadia Petrova in 2006). In the final she beat Elena Vesnina, who continued to go winless in WTA finals – she is now 0-6.

Over in Estoril, Estonia’s Kaia Kanepi won a thriller against Carla Suárez Navarro for the title, rallying from 5-3 down in the second set (and saving two match points in the tie-break) then again fighting from 4-2 down in the third to edge the talented Spaniard, 36 76(6) 64.

As Madrid kicks off, Agnieszka Radwanska breaks new ground this week, rising to No.3.
