The first Slam doubles title of the pair formed by Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini does not come. The Italian champions were defeated with a score of 7-6(5) 6-3 in the Roland Garros final by the American Coco Gauff and the Czech Katerina Siniakova in one hour and 47 minutes of play. "It's really special to be back on this court," were Errani's words after the defeat on Court Philippe Chatrier in Paris, "It had been so many years and I was here three weeks this year: it was a long time but I enjoyed every moment, I have to thank Jasmine for making me play with this joy. I don't know how many more years I will play but it is always special to play these kinds of matches. In a month we will see what will happen: we have a dream, we will play the Olympics here. We will meet here again in a month". "Thanks to the fans for coming to cheer us on," added Paolini, who was also defeated in the singles final, "and congratulations to Coco and Katerina. It's been a really intense, beautiful and exciting two weeks; I bring with me a lot of memories and I can't wait to come back here because it's one of the most beautiful places there is for a female tennis player".
