US Open: Errani, Vavassori win

Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori have made tennis history by becoming the first Italians to win the mixed doubles at a Grand Slam, beating Americans Taylor Townsend and Donald Young 7-6 7-5 in the final of the US Open.
    "Life has really gone over the top this year," Errani told SuperTennis.
    "I won (the women's doubles at the Italian Open in) Rome and Olympic gold (with Jasmine Paolini) and I won here.
    "I'm delighted".
    Vavassori was happy too.
    "I always said that I wanted to win a Grand Slam, no matter whether it be in the singles, the doubles or the mixed doubles," he said.
    "I'm very emotional because I managed to do it and I did it with Sara, who was excellent".
