Errani/ Vavassori rally to defend Roland Garros mixed doubles title

Italian duo Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori won the Roland Garros mixed doubles title Thursday, rallying from a set down to beat Canada’s Gabriela Dabrowski and American Evan King in a match tiebreak.

Dabrowski and King claimed the first set 6-4 before defending champions Errani and Vavassori bounced back to win the second 6-3. The Italians were superior in the match tiebreak, winning it 10-4 to become the first pair to win back-to-back mixed doubles titles in Paris since Ivan Dodig and Latisha Chan did the same in 2018-19.

It was Errani and Vavassori’s fourth mixed doubles title in the last seven Grand Slam tournaments. They also won back-to-back U.S. Open mixed doubles titles in 2024 and 2025.
