Third-seeded Italian pair Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori beat fourth-seeded Americans Taylor Townsend and Evan King 6-4, 6-2 to win the mixed doubles title at the French Open on Thursday. It was their second major title together after winning last yearโ€™s US Open.

โ€œLetโ€™s see if I will see you next year, letโ€™s hope,โ€ the 38-year-old Errani, who was a 2012 French Open singles runner-up, told the crowd on Court Philippe-Chatrier.

Townsend was the US Open mixed runner-up last year with Donald Young, and has won two major womenโ€™s doubles titles. She thanked King for playing with her. โ€œWe’re running it back at Wimbledon, so weโ€™re going to try it again,โ€ she said.
