Sara Errani must be feeling lucky, reaching her first final of 2013 with the help of two retirements and saving match point in the other match!
(Rank/Seed)
7/1 Errani was up 5-0 when Bertens retired with a left pelvis injury, therefore she will play her biggest final since last year in Paris, which was at the French Open of course.
45/-Barthel beat French wild card Mladenovic easily 61 64, hitting 5 aces and not being broken once. This is the German's second final of the year and the biggest of her career.
Errani and Barthel have never played before. The German's already beaten Errani's doubles partner Vinci and top 10 Bartoli, whilst seeming to thrive on the fast indoor conditions with her big serve and carefree groundies. Errani's very lucky to be in the final and I have a feeling she may be overpowered. I think Barthel will do what Angelique Kerber did here last year; beat two top 10 players en route to the Paris Indoors title.
