Strada facendo, avevano preso a pallate, eliminandole dal torneo, nientemeno che le sorellone Williams. Ora, per completare il loro cursus honorum, manca sola Wimbledon. Ma già la vittoria di oggi consolida per un lungo periodo la loro posizione di n°1 al mondo in doppio, posizione che credo non molleranno facilmente...

MELBOURNE, Australia - Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci continued to solidify their status as the No.1 team in the world on Friday, beating an inspired Australian team to win their third Grand Slam title at the Australian Open - in fact they have won three of the last four Grand Slam tournaments now.
The No.1-seeded Errani and Vinci were in control early on, taking the first set and coming within a few games of a straight set win at 62 33; their opponents - Ashleigh Barty and Casey Dellacqua - came alive for a while, winning four games in a row to take the second set and break in the first game of the third, but Errani and Vinci regrouped, reeling off six of the next seven games to finish it, 62 36 62.
Errani and Vinci now have 14 WTA doubles titles together and three Grand Slam titles, the French and US Opens last year and the Australian Open this year. In the last 12 months they are 20-1 at Grand Slams, the only loss being the quarters of Wimbledon to Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka.
