Thirty-four games won, two lost. Just take it from here, from the simple and banal numbers, to understand how much the company which is requested from Jasmine Paolini both on paper prohibitive. Why Iga Swiatek in his career at Roland Garros he suffered only two defeats.

And in the strange edition still in covid 2021 format, when it surprised her Maria Sakkari, 6-4 6-4 the score in favor of the Greek. The rest tells us about three titles – 2020, 2022 and 2023 – and often few chance for many. Muchova came close to the feat last year – in a beautiful final – and Naomi Osaka in this tournament.
