Errani secures Fed Cup for Italy
Print Edition
Sara Errani romped to a 6-1, 6-1 win over Alisa Kleybanova in Cagliari to spur Italy to its fourth Fed Cup title with a 4-0 victory over Russia in Cagliari yesterday.
A second-string Russian side, which had to contest the final without top players Maria Kirilenko, Elena Vesnina and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, was always likely to struggle against a team featuring grand slam doubles champions Errani and Roberta Vinci. Errani, who was also a singles runner-up at the 2012 French Open, showed her class and experience as she won both her singles rubbers with the minimum of fuss and wrapped up the title for Italy with two matches to spare. With Italy already crowned champion, the teams decided to skip the fourth singles rubber before Karin Knapp and Flavia Pennetta completed the whitewash with a 4-6, 6-2, 10-4 win over Margarita Gasparyan and Irina Khromacheva.
