It’s been a dream season so far for Jasmine Paolini and now we have to try to put the icing on the cake at the “home” tournament. The Tuscan athlete acts as the “flag-bearer” of the women’s patrol at the Internationals of Rome with a draw that at least on paper could allow it to make its way.
WTA Rome: Paolini is waiting for Patric or Sherif
The day of Internationals of Rome it began with the draw for the women’s tournament. The scoreboard has been compiled against the backdrop of the Trevi Fountain which will see 11 Italian teams at the starting line. Jasmine Paolini it is inserted as the number 11 seed and will not play the first round. Her debut only in the second round against the winner of the match between the Croatian Petra Martic and the Egyptian Mayar Sherif. The blue player ended up on the side of the scoreboard where the prominent name is that of Aryna Sabalenka returning from the final lost in Madrid. The Italian ended up in the part of the draw that could see her in the round of 16 against the Greek Maria Sakari, seeded number 5.
Trevisan, there is the Putintseva obstacle
They enter the main draw from the first round Martina Trevisan who will immediately face a very solid player like the Kazakh Putintseva. The 33-year-old from Florence is not having the best of times and she wasn’t particularly lucky even in the Roman draw. And she could immediately end up in the clutches of the world number one Iga Swiatek.
Errani and Bronzetti: US challenges
Double US challenge for Lucia Bronzetti and for Sara Errani who find Kenin and Anisimova in the first round respectively. Stars and Stripes opponent also for Lisa Pigato vs. Shelby Rogers. There is also space for the first Italian derby in the women’s draw with the challenge between the two wild cards Stefanini and Paganetti. Opportunities also for Giorgia Pedone, with the 19 year old from Palermo who will find an athlete coming from the qualifiers on her path. Crossroads still to wait for too Elisabetta Cocciaretto (who is waiting for a qualified one), while Nuria Brancaccio will face the Czech Siniakova. Also waiting for her opponent Federica Di Sarra.
