Good morning friends of OA Sport and welcome to the Live Broadcast of the semi-final of the WTA 500 in Eastbourne between Jasmine Paolini and Daria Kasatkina.
Almost an Italian derbyif we consider that on the bench of the Russian player lies Flavio Onion, former Roman top 100. With Renzo Furlan, they represent an elite “couple” of Italian coaches, who have in their own way achieved considerable goals. The Roland Garros final seems to have given Jasmine Paolini an extra boostwho won the first two matches on grass of her career by taking advantage of the withdrawal of Elise Mertens and defeating the grass-playing Katie Boulter in two sets.
Many were not convinced of the adaptability of Tuscany on meadows, but apparently they will have to change their minds. Jasmine’s tennis, full of aggression, flat shots and with the serve and return that entered completely another dimension. If clay, the surface on which the athlete from Castelnuovo Garfagnana grew up, gave her a crazy finish like a Slam final, grass will be able to help take her higher and higher in the WTA rankings. By winning today, she comes within 100 points of Marketa Vondrousova, currently sixth.
All that remains is to wish you a good continuation with the Live Broadcast of the semi-final of the WTA 500 in Eastbourne which sees Jasmine face to face Pauline and Daria Kasatkina. It starts as the second match from 12, after the first semifinal between Keys and Fernandez.
