Hey, tennis fans It’s your girl Mia Johnson-Carter here, and I’m super excited to share this epic story from the Billie Jean King Cup. I mean, who doesn’t love a good underarm serve? It’s like the ultimate twist in tennis!
So, let’s dive into what happened. Sara Errani, a 37-year-old Italian tennis star, pulled off an underarm serve on match point against Iga Swiatek during a crucial doubles match. This move is not just any ordinary serve; it’s a move that can change the game in an instant And trust me, it did just that.
Sara Errani and her doubles partner Jasmine Paolini were down in both sets but still managed to win 7-5, 7-5 against Swiatek and Katarzyna Kawa. This win sent Italy into the final of the Billie Jean King Cup for the second consecutive year. It was an incredible comeback, folks The Italians came from 5-1 down in the second set to seal the match and tie.
“It was tough today, the intensity was insane so I was a little bit tired,” Paolini said. “But I say to myself you have to push, you still have doubles and you have to give everything for Italy, for my team.”
Errani even joked about not being well-prepared for the doubles match after cheering for Paolini in her singles match against Swiatek. Despite this, they found a way to win with many deuce points and a thrilling rally that included Errani’s underarm serve.
“It wasn’t easy – a really long day, and I started the doubles not too good,” Errani joked. “But we found a way. So many deuce points, we played a really good match.”
This win has got everyone talking, especially with Rafael Nadal’s recent announcement about playing singles at the Davis Cup Finals in Malaga. It’s like the whole tennis world is buzzing with excitement!
