Sara Errani

Seeded twenty-first, with one of the gentlest serves in the game, Sara Errani ground her way to the 2012 Roland Garros final on drop shots, depth and relentless legs, past Svetlana Kuznetsova and Samantha Stosur, before Maria Sharapova stopped her. Semifinals followed at the 2012 US Open and in Paris in 2013, and by May 2013 she was world No. 5. Her 9 career titles were won the same way: opponents outrun and outthought, never overpowered.

Doubles gave her the full set: with Roberta Vinci she won five majors from 2012 to 2014, a career doubles Grand Slam, and reached No. 1 in 2012. A positive test for letrozole in 2017, traced to her mother's cancer medication in a family meal, cost her a ten-month ban. The late chapters outshone everything: Olympic doubles gold with Jasmine Paolini at Paris 2024, Italy's first tennis gold and her career Golden Slam, then three mixed doubles majors with Andrea Vavassori. Singles got its farewell at Roland Garros in 2025; the doubles carried on.
