Jasmine Paolini (12) serving
11.05 Very young, the 21-year-old Russian is 70th in the world. She plays very aggressively, but she has a tennis that she also knows how to be patient. However, the match will be played from the back. She also has a noticeable bandage on her right leg.
11:03 The warm-up dribble has started, 4 minutes and we’re off!
11:02 Avanesyan is the second time he has reached the round of 16 in a Slam tournament, after reaching this round last year in Paris.
Players on the pitch!
10:58 For whoever wins, there would then be the winner of Rybakina-Svitolina in the quarterfinals.
10.53 First direct comparison between the two. Paolini would rise to number 7 by winning race, bypassing the eliminated Ostapenko. In the ranking, she would also rise one position, reaching 12th.
10.46 Paolini, despite being virtually number 13 in the world, has never managed to climb into the last 8 of a Slam tournament. At most, she reached the round of 16 in Melbourne last January. She surrendered in that case to Anna Kalinskaya, a recurring player for Ital-tennis, since she was beaten by Jasmine in her historic success in Dubai and also two weeks later in Indian Wells.
10.41 Here we are! In about 20 minutes the Italian and the Russian will take to the field for their round of 16 match!
Good morning friends of OA Sport and welcome to the Live broadcast of the round of 16 match between Jasmine Paolini and Elina Avanesyan.
The Italian is, to the detriment of the ranking and the status she now possesses, only in the second round of 16 of a Slam tournament. The first was achieved this January, in Melbourne, when she surrendered to the Russian Anna Kalinskaya, then defeated in both the Dubai final and Indian Wells.
This time, the opportunity is tempting but nothing is taken for granted. The Russian reached the round of 16 for the second consecutive year at Roland Garros, and she did it by winning a marathon of over 3 hours against the number 6 seed Zheng Qinwen. Paolini, on the other hand, overcame Daria Saville in the 1st round in two partial matches, with the same fate also in the 2nd round against Hailey Baptiste. In the 3rd round she then beat the rediscovered Canadian Bianca Andreescu, former US Open champion, in 3 sets.
By winning, the Italian would reach the quarterfinals in a Slam for the first time and would gain a position in the live ranking, moving to 14th position. It would be important to also impose herself to consolidate a place in the top 8 of the race for the WTA Finals. At the moment the Italian enjoys a margin of around 200 points over Kostyuk in eighth, while by winning she would rise to seventh position, overtaking Ostapenko.
All that remains is to wish you a good continuation with the Live broadcast of the round of 16 match between Jasmine Paolini and Elina Avanesyan. We start at 11.00 on Lenglen.
