Overview
- Errani and Paolini defeated Gabriela Dabrowski and Luisa Stefani 6-2, 6-2 to take the Pan Pacific Open doubles title in Tokyo.
- Errani and Paolini, who won the Tokyo final on Sunday, Nov. 1, earned 500 WTA doubles points each that secured their spot among the eight teams at the year-end WTA Finals.
- The title is the pair’s first of the 2026 season and their tenth together, and they completed the Tokyo week without dropping a set.
- Jasmine Paolini missed several months earlier in the year with foot problems, which limited how often the duo played together and made late qualification uncertain.
- The absence of the Krunić–Danilina pairing because of Aleksandra Krunić’s knee injury eased the Race standings, and Errani and Paolini now head to Indian Wells aiming to advance past the WTA Finals round-robin for the first time.
