At 3pm Jasmine Paolini takes to the court in the final of the women’s singles, against the Polish favorite Iga Swiatek, world number 1 and dominator of the last tournaments, including the one in Rome.

Jasmine reached her first final of a Grand Slam tournament at a mature age, at 28 years old, after a career spent in the shadows: small in stature but with an unparalleled determination she won 6-3 6-1 on Thursday the very young Mirra Andreeva. A revenge on the ‘stunned’ 17-year-old Russian, one of the emerging tennis players on the circuit, who beat her on the clay court of Madrid a month ago.

“Thanks to those who follow me, even from home, and ‘merci beaucoup’ to those who are here. In recent years I have learned that dreaming is the most important thing”, said the Tuscan tennis player after the match, conquering the Parisian public with his smile.

And it will be a celebration in Bagni di Lucca, where this athlete with an Italian father and a Polish mother of Ghanaian origins grew up. A year ago Jasmine was fighting to remain among the top hundred tennis players in the world, then the explosion: third round at the Australian Open in January, victory at the WTA 1000 tournament in Dubai and now the final in Paris where I will face the world number one Iga Swiatek . Paolini is the third Italian to reach the Roland Garros final after Francesca Schiavone and Sara Errani. On Monday the Italian will be number 7 in the WTA rankings. Whatever happens, Jasmine’s Parisian journey will not stop today, because tomorrow she will take the court again in the final of the women’s doubles, paired with Sara Errani.
