Sara Errani - Another Italian Rises
There are two Cinderellas in this year's Australian Open. One of them is Sara Errani, who I'm sure, was in no one's list of potential quarterfinalists in this year's Aussie Open. But just like her fellow Italian, Francesca Schiavone, who came out of nowhere, to win the 2010 French Open, Sara Errani (currently ranked #48), slowly and steadily made her way into the second week of the Aussie Open.
er important wins include Nadia Petrova (#31) in the second round, Sorana Cirstea (#59) in the third round - Sorana took out Samantha Stosur in the first round, and Zheng Jie (#38) in the fourth round. However, her quarterfinal opponent was Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova (#2), and although Sara gave it her all, Kvitova's power play was able to thump her. Nevertheless, she still won 8 games all in all. Not bad!
