Unstoppable. It is the adjective that best describes Jasmine’s extraordinary rise Paolini, qualified for the round of 16 of the WTA 1000 in Madrid. Tuscany, n. 13 in the world, she played a simply perfect match against the French Caroline Garcia, n. 21 of the seeding: 6-3, 6-2 the final score after an hour of great tennis from the Italian. There was never a match, yet Garcia represented a difficult obstacle for Paolini, thanks to the precedents (5-2 for the transalpine) and the qualities of the former n. 4 in the world. Jasmine never allowed her opponent to enter the match (22 free on the scoresheet for Garcia), playing sublime tennis in every fundamental. Paolini was concrete and made very few mistakes, despite the little pace given by the Frenchwoman. “I’m happy with my performance, Against Garcia are always great battles – explained Paolini – This year I’m playing well, adapting to a different surface is always difficult. I’m doing well.”
