Olympic champion Sara Errani to play the BNL Italy Major Premier Padel

The Foro Italico Park is ready to transform once again into the ideal stage for the fourth edition of the BNL Italy Major Premier Padel. “The BNL Italy Major Premier Padel in Rome, now in its fourth edition, is not just one of the four major tournaments on the world circuit, but one of the most exciting events of the season,” said Luigi Carraro, president of the International Padel Federation, during the press conference.

“The first three chapters of the Major,” recalls the FIP president, “were extraordinary for the spectacle and the teamwork created between FIP and Premier Padel with the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation and Sport e Salute in organizing this great tournament. Now we’ll write the fourth, aware that it too will be unforgettable, also thanks to the presence of an Olympic champion like Sara Errani, winner of the gold medal in doubles at the Paris Olympics, six Grand Slam tournaments, and the last two editions of the doubles tournament right here at the Foro Italico. We’re proud to reserve a wildcard for her in the main draw of a Major,” concludes Carraro, “which is equivalent to a tennis Grand Slam.”

Less than a month after celebrating a record second consecutive women's doubles title at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia alongside Jasmine Paolini, Sara Errani will return to the Foro Italico to play one of the four major of the Premier Padel Circuit. At the start of the season, Errani competed in two CUPRA FIP Tour events, the international circuit of the FIP: in Melbourne, a few days before the Australian Open, she played with Tathiana Garbin, captain of the Italian national team, and at the FIP Gold in Dubai, she partnered with Caterina Baldi.

In Rome, Sara will play with 20-year-old Giulia Dal Pozzo, one of the young Italian padel talents to watch.
