Paolini in the final in the singles and doubles with Errani, Bolelli and Vavassori are playing for the title in the men’s doubles. Jannik out in the semi-final but undermines Djokovic
Jannik Sinner, Jasmine Paolini and the doubles light up the sky of Paris: Italian tennis writes history at Roland Garros and promises fireworks at the 2024 Olympics. The Parisian tournament, however it ends, will rightfully enter the history of our tennis. Sinner’s run stopped in the semi-final against Carlos Alcaraz, but the South Tyrolean can console himself when on Monday the ATP rankings will see him at number 1 instead of Novak Djokovic. The Parisian tournament consecrated the star of Jasmine Paolini: the Tuscan tennis player reached the final both in singles, where the world number 1 Iga Swiatek awaits her, and in doubles paired with Sara Errani: the 37-year-old from Emilia won in the specialty in 2012 paired with Roberta Vinci. You are also great in Italy in the men’s doubles: after the final lost at the Australian Open, Simone Bolelli And Andrea Vavassori they try again on Parisian soil.
Only a great Alcaraz and tiredness prevented Italy from a legendary poker final. Sinner cherished the dream for a long time, but in the end he succumbed to the blows of the Spaniard, fresher athletically and invincible in the fifth set, where he has a career record of 10-1. The new world number 1 paid for his inactivity due to his hip problem and his opponent’s greater familiarity on clay. He will have the opportunity to make up for it, in the meantime he will enjoy the fresh world record and some rest before concentrating on the grass season which will culminate with the Wimbledon event.

Roland Garros, it’s a trio of finals for Italy: Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini fly in the doubles
This Roland Garros, no matter how it ends, not even Jasmine Paolini will ever forget it. The 28-year-old from Tuscany is having a dream season and has no intention of waking up, even if in front of her is the queen of women’s tennis and the strongest player on earth. With the final in the singles Jasmine became the fifth Italian to play the final act of a Slam tournament in the Open era, with this result she equals Roberta Vinci’s best ranking (7 in the world) and becomes number 5 in the Race. Thanks, however, to the doubles final Paolini and Errani rose to number 2 in the Race and in the event of a title against Coco Gauff (already defeated in Rome) and Katerina Siniakova, they will be number 1 in the world this season.
