Press Conference

ERRANI-PAOLINI/Danilina-Krunic

6-4, 2-6, 6-1

THE MODERATOR: Sara and Jasmine, obviously you fell just short last year in the final, and this year you're able to take home your first Grand Slam title together as a team. Can you just give me your thoughts on the match today and how it feels to lift this trophy?

JASMINE PAOLINI: Yes, we are very happy. Last year we were close to it, but happy that this year we managed to win the trophy, and it's an amazing feeling.

And today was a tough match. They were playing good, tactically also, so it was tough. At the end we managed to win.

SARA ERRANI: Yeah, yeah, the same. They did a really good match today. It was not easy to find good way to win, but I think with the good energy, we make it.

THE MODERATOR: Questions in English.

Q. You lost the final last year. How much does this make up for that, and for a slightly earlier departure in the singles, is this a great way to finish the event for you?

JASMINE PAOLINI: It is a great way to finish, of course, with a trophy. I was also a bit nervous before the match because, you know, I wanted to get the trophy this year.

Last year we were close to it, and I remember that we could do a better performance last year, but happy that this year we managed to win. Yes, it's great to left Paris with a trophy.

Q. For you, Sara, you said on court how difficult it is because the tour moves so quickly that you don't get time to enjoy wins, but what made you say that this one has sunk in a bit already? Why do you think you're feeling the joy of winning this one so soon as opposed to not the other?

SARA ERRANI: Yeah, it's like that. I mean, I said before, in tennis you just try to be focused every day. I just won mixed the other day, and I couldn't be -- I was trying not to be too happy, you know, because you have to continue, you have to keep concentrate, and it's not easy.

Even after Rome, I just come here directly to play the quallies. I mean, you have no stop, so it's not easy to manage that kind of thing.

But of course, when you realize, you have to be happy, you have to be -- understand that this is so big trophy. Of course, I'm so happy and also very tired, but you have to find the balance.
