Sara Errani will be playing her second quarter-final when she takes the court at the ongoing Emilia-Romagna Open 2021. Her first quarter-final of the season which is also her best run so far in 2021, came at the Copa Colsanitas 2021. Apart from that she has made early exits at the tournaments she has been part of.

She comes into this quarter-final from a straight-set victory in the first round and was in the 3rd set of her second round match when her opponent Sara Sorribes Tormo had to pull out due to an injury in her left thigh. The match was levelled at 4-6, 7-5, 2-2 when the withdrawal happened.
