Sara Errani will move directly from the clay of Roland Garros to the Premier Padel P1 in Valencia, scheduled from June 8 to 14, 2026. After contesting the mixed doubles final in Paris alongside Andrea Vavassori, the Italian champion is set for a new challenge on the international padel stage.
Pairing with Martina Parmigiani
Errani will compete in Valencia with Martina Parmigiani, entering the main draw thanks to a wild card granted by the organizers of the prestigious international circuit. The pairing marks a crossover between tennis and padel that has drawn attention from fans eager to see how Errani adapts to the cage.
Spanish connection and past experiences
The transition from clay courts to synthetic surfaces surrounded by glass walls is not unfamiliar to Errani. Valencia has long been a base for her training, where she refined her padel fundamentals before the sport gained widespread popularity in Italy.
Previous appearances in padel
Errani’s history with padel dates back to 2015, when she competed in Valencia alongside former tennis colleague Anabel Medina Garrigues, successfully passing a qualifying round. More recently, she made her Premier Padel debut in 2025 at the BNL Italy Major in Rome. Now, her participation in Valencia represents a more structured commitment, with direct entry into one of the season’s flagship events.
For Errani, the Premier Padel P1 in Valencia is both a continuation of her sporting journey and a new chapter in her career. With Parmigiani by her side, she will test herself against established padel specialists, adding another dimension to her already remarkable sporting story.
