A Historic 5th Title with Italy: Errani Enters BJK Cup History
Last weekend, Italy celebrated a new victory in the Billie Jean King Cup, the 6th in its history. A triumph even more symbolic for Sara Errani.
Last weekend, Italy won the Billie Jean King Cup for the 6th time in its history. Tathiana Garbin's players eliminated China in the quarter-finals, Ukraine in the semi-finals, before dominating the United States to retain their title.
During the week, Sara Errani had to take the court with Jasmine Paolini against Ukraine in a decisive doubles match against the pair Lyudmyla Kichenok/Marta Kostyuk. In control, the two Italian players won without faltering (6-2, 6-3) to send their country to the final.
Moreover, Errani, 38, entered the history of the competition, as she won her 5th BJK Cup title, all in three different decades (2009, 2010, 2013, 2024, 2025). She joins Spanish players Arantxa Sanchez Vicario and Conchita Martinez among the most decorated players in the competition.
