PARIS (Reuters) - There is something about feeling the soft clay under her soles that makes Sara Errani stand 10 feet tall at Roland Garros as the diminutive Italian toppled Polish fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska 6-4 7-6(6) to reach the semi-finals on Tuesday.

A year after reaching her debut grand slam final at the French Open, Errani once again proved that her 1.64 metre stature would not stall her from chasing her dreams in a sport awash with powerfully built athletes.
