Errani performed well on the clay in Bucharest. The experienced Italian will be clearly motivated to show her best game at her home tournament in Parma. More so, she is going to face a very well-known Davis who Sara has defeated three times in her career, losing only once on grass.
Both tennis players are unsure of their serves, which often leads to prolonged duels. Errani and Davis have played three sets each in three of their last six matches on the tour. It’s not out of the question that they’ll be exchanging sets today as well.
Sara Errani had a poor showing at the US Open, losing in the first qualifying round to Gabriela Talaba (4-6, 6-3, 2-6). The experienced Italian returned to the clay with a successful performance.
In Bari, she managed to reach the second round. In Budapest, a fortnight ago, Errani reached the semi-finals. Such a result has allowed Sara to come close to a possible return to the top 100 as she is now the 110th racket in the world. However, she must first defend her ranking points from last year’s quarter-final in Parma.
Errani has won four of her last six matches on clay.
Lauren Davis had quite a successful US Open. In New York, the American was able to make it to the third round, defeating tough opponents Lucia Bronzetti (4-6, 7-6, 5-4) and Ekaterina Alexandrova (0-6, 6-4, 7-6). In the third round, she lost to Iga Swiatek (3-6, 4-6).
Following her home success, Lauren had one clay-court tournament in Budapest. In the Hungarian capital, Davis reached the quarterfinals where she fell to Oceane Dodin (7-5, 5-7, 2-6).
Davis has lost her last four matches in a row at the WTA-250 level.
