New York: Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci both got to celebrate this time. Four days after facing off in a US Open singles quarter-final, when Errani didn't even crack a smile after clinching victory, they were dancing on court Sunday over their doubles title.
The second-seeded Italians beat Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka 6-4, 6-2 for their second Grand Slam championship — and second in three months after they broke through at the French Open.
"Good thing is we can celebrate together," Errani said. They're commemorating a career year for both. In singles, Errani was the runner-up at Roland Garros, and Vinci made her best Grand Slam run by reaching the quarters here.
